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 tracks can have several thousand ratings)

This track has a Bayesian average rating of 73.9/100, a mean average of 73.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.6/100. The standard deviation for this track is 24.2.

Really do not know what I was smoking in my previous comment. This is not pop fluff, it's era-defining perfection that still slaps so hard. That music video is an all-time great, undoubtedly one of the campest things humans have ever created. Yet another cultural reset delivered from early Gaga. And Beyoncé! Freaking Beyoncé!!

Every time the late-stage capitalist hell hole we're living through gets to me I whack this on loud enough to reawaken the dead and I feel like myself oncemore.

A masterclass in good pop fluff; catchy and well paced, perfect collaboration with Beyonce and decently written. Light enough to be played on the radio yet still loud enough to be played in a club. You could call it a record company's dream...

This is yet another unforgettably catchy track by Lady Gaga. The lyrics are dumb, but it flows with a perfect chorus (perfect, as in... perfect to attract a large audience). The music is standard club beat and electronic dance feel. It is what it is.

The unique thing about this song is the telephonic ringing interspersed through the track's background, adding a different type of layer to the phonic experience. It's the type of layering rarely considered by artists and producers.
