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)

Emotional and tear jerking. You can hear the sadness behind the vocals only proving that it his most sincere work. Incredible track from an amazing one of a kind album and musician.
How is it that a song so simple can be called the best of the year?
Probably the most accessible track on the album, but it's also one of the most beautiful and possibly the most moving. And like the rest of the album it will probably keep growing on you with each repeated listen. A special song from a special album.
