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 11% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.7/100, a mean average of 73.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.3.

Shortlisted for album of the year in 1985. The winner was Can't Slow Down by Lionel Richie (Edited)

so good. (Edited)
Her big two hits are good and I also like "Yeah Yeah" and "Witness", but the rest are below par. (Edited)

Other than "All Through The Night", side two is just terrible! Rating (73.50)
Great combination of sounds and Cyndi's special voice. A very good pop album.

I knew there were some good songs on here, but it's just a pretty darned good pop album overall.
A damn near perfect pop record with some surprising social commentary along the way. Lauper is one of only a handful of vocalists who's instantly distinguishable.
