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 72.6/100, a mean average of 71.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.6.

I always considered this a melancholy album. I still have the original tape which was very much played through the late eighties. So sad this guy died young following serious injuries from a car accident.
Front loaded with "the good stuff". Tails off a bit towards the end of the album but a decent album overall.

Two excellent singles, a great voice and overall good songs. However, most of the album is a bland 80s soup of sound, especially the lesser tracks. An extra track on the version I heard called Revel in the Rain should have been what they went for sound wise on some of the tracks, jazzy. Good track too.

Black aka Colin Vearncombe released this album in 1987 after the world wide success of the song Wonderful Life. That song and the closing song Sweetest Smile are the "slow" songs on this album and the biggest hits but the rest of the album is good with songs full of irony and melancholy.
