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 5% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.2/100, a mean average of 74.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.0.

In many ways, this album is better than "faith". Where "faith" was more immediately-grabbing, "vol.1" is more complex and emotionally/musically layered. His covers (including a b-side elton cover) nail those songs' sentiment. G.Michael attempts to show us there's more than a tight @ss behind his songs, and he succeeds, but sometimes over-reaches.
Freedom...this could be the ghost title of this record! Freedom from the music industry and the image of a rock star that GM wanted to f..ck off. This cd is just a little less than Older but better and "purer" than Faith. Songs like "Waiting", "Heal the pain" but most of all "Waiting for that day" and "Cowboys and angels" are perfect, flawless, fantastic and i still love to put them on!

His "grown up" album. This has some of his best songs; "Praying for Time", "Freedom", "Waiting for that Day". All quality work and underrated.

Quite underrated. Really mature and socially aware, coupled with Michael's incredible voice it makes for a pretty good record.
The man can write a great pop song and boy can he sing. A great record!
