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 67.6/100, a mean average of 66.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 67.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 19.0.

The only pop/rock male/female duo i can recall at the time consistently putting out catchy little pop songs. "The Look" is all sorts of summed-up-80s-cool with its synth-tension and annie-lennox-esque backing vocal. The rest of the album is fairly good too (see "dressed for success" and "dance away" next) and "Listen to your Heart" is a nice ballad which marked the beginning of a shift from Per Gessle to Marie in songs released to radio.
This record and this band hasn't aged well. It all sounds so dated today. (Edited)
