Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some albums can have several thousand ratings)
This album is rated in the top 18% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.9/100, a mean average of 72.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.5.

Best tracks: Verdict, Cha Cha Loo, Not Her, Not Now. A very classy, jazzy, and chic album. Suitable for the better mid-80s late-night party re-enactments. (Edited)
This is a great album. The production is excellent and the choice of material is great. Joe Jackson is at the top of his form on this record. (Edited)

Ripetere un capolavoro come "Night and day" ed allo stesso tempo distaccarsene: a momenti a Joe Jackson l'impresa riesce. "Body and soul" è un gran disco di eccellenti canzoni pop con le solite striature jazz o di musica latina e con almeno un brano da alta classifica

I'VE DUSTED THIS OFF LATELY AND IT BROUGHT ME BACK IN TIME."CAN'T GET WHAT YOU WANT" IS ANOTHER PERFECT JAZZY POP TUNE.OTHER FAVS ARE "#2,"NOT HERE,NOT NOW","HAPPY ENDING" AND "THE VERDICT"...GREAT ARRANGEMENTS AND IT'S VERY PERSONAL TO ME...
