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 has a Bayesian average rating of 64.4/100, a mean average of 63.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 63.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 22.0.

I appreciate how kitschy this is. And taken in context with Dick Tracy, it mostly works. But holy hell, does this not work on its own! (Edited)
This one is, in some ways, a forgotten Madonna album as it was released with little fanfare and it was sandwiched between two phenomenal Madonna albums, Like a Prayer and Erotica. Forgotten it may be, but it produced one of the biggest hits of her career (“Vogue”) and it represented a musical departure for her. It incorporates swing and other big band sounds mixed with Madonna’s penchant for picking pop hits. Stand out songs include the aforementioned “Vogue” as well as the gloriously beautiful ballad “Something to Remember” and the rather fun and jaunty “Hanky Panky” which just happens to be one of my favorite Madonna songs. A very nice album.
Not just nice but wonderfully BRILLIANT album from Madge. I would like to see other pop/R&B singers (with 4-5 octaves) singing jazz tracks as good as Madonna. Her voice is stunning here. She knows how to change her vocal in the right way. 'Vogue' is masterpiece of course but 'I'm Breathless' contains other superb tracks like 'Hanky Panky', 'Back In Business', 'Im Going Bananas', 'Sooner or Later'[, 'More', 'Cry Baby' etc
Madonna and Sondheim, could have been a disaster. It's not, it's hot. "Vogue" is the hit and a great song but the rest of the material is just as strong. This album is not her best but it comes close. It's not a over produced, thump, thump cacophony of noise. She had the common sense to just sing the damn song.

Forgettable, except for Vogue, which was monumental. Too bad it's not on a more memorable album.
