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 72.8/100, a mean average of 70.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.0.

Short but essential in some respects. A career booster anyway.

Not as consistent as her debut, but still plenty rewarding and fun. Plus, I appreciate the breadth of sounds on this one.

Incontestável. Marcou a década e a carreira da Madonna!
Solid pop album. It's not her best, but it's certainly a fun listen. Can't believe it sold 10 million copies in the US alone, but hey, it was the 80s.

Like a Virgin might be my favorite pop song of all time.
Fun album!
Pretty diverse, even if it only has 9 songs. I love this album!
So lost in the days of continuous upcoming hits
You can't get much more 80's pop than this record. Refreshing, provocative and you can dance to it.

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
