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 68.0/100, a mean average of 63.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 65.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.9.

Coming to this album forty years after its release, it is classic eighties synth pop. My interest in this band being ignited by my love of eighties synth pop/rock and in seeing a Kajagoogoo flight case to the side of the stage at a Steve Hackett gig a few years ago. Nick Beggs is an incredible bass player, he also played Chapman Stick at that gig which was quite a fascinating thing to watch. To have picked this up on vinyl in near mint condition 40 years after it’s release has made me very happy. ‘Hang on Now’ and ‘Too Shy’ make the album a worthwhile buy alone.
Too Shy is a classic 80s song, and it's abundantly clear that this bassist would become one of the greats someday.

damn, these're harsh ratings, y'all. i really like this album. a go-to when my legs need some strtchng, y'know. maybe a little weak in the middle, but when it's flying, it's up in the clouds with the birds and the butterflies.
Firstly you need to like early 80’s synth pop and that’s probably not enough to recommend this album to highly. The first 4 tracks are actually pretty good but after that it drops off alarmingly.

"Too Shy" was the big hit and the standout track from this album. It's an amazing pop song, one of my favorites back in 1983. Besides that, on this album, there's a little, but not much. "Too Shy" pretty much gives you the gist, and the best, of Kajagoogoo's sound.
