Rating metrics: Help 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 11% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.6/100, a mean average of 73.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.9.

"I Melt With You" is the obvious standout here. The first 2 tracks are alright. The rest really drags, and if you're fine with that, maybe you are fine with the rest of this album. But for me, it's pretty forgettable.

Somewhat overlooked because of the one hit wonder tag for
"I melt with you" , but I believe it's a solid album.....
Listen to "face of wood" and "after the snow" for starters.

I like this type of 80s synth sound. It has had a bit of a resurgence but nothing like the real thing . I enjoyed the whole album more than a one hit wonder to me. If you liked you melt with you I believe you'll find other tracks to like here.
