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 67.4/100, a mean average of 65.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 67.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 19.4.

Careless Whisper and Everything She Wants my favorite tracks. Freedom and Wake Me Up are also remarkable tracks butin my view in a different level. Good Pop album.
I loved the song careless whisper. they should
have released it as a single instead of grouping
it with inferior tracks

My god its so bad lmao
Contains 3 No.1 hits from 1984. Careless Whisper(5), Freedom(10) & Wake Me Up Before You Go Go(11) all ended up being in the top 20 biggest selling singles of '84. The moody "Everything She Wants" is another hit which was on a double A side with "Last Christmas" and was only prevented from reaching No.1 by Band Aid.

Mais pop impossível!
Great eighties album. Pure sunshine music. The lesser known 'Like a Baby' is among my favourite Wham tracks. George Michael had an amazing voice and was at his pinnacle on this album.
Very fun pop record and George has an amazing voice. Has a couple timeless classics (Wake Me Up, Careless Whisper) and some fun pop tracks (Heartbeat, Freedom.) I could listen to this for hours.

I grew up being called Seth Bug because of this album... I was born the week that song went to number 1.
