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)

The sax work is really wonderful. The piano is a clunk in the song, actually, as sympathetic as you can feel towards the player. Good track. The first seconds are highly addictive.

I have many a bad memory of stepping up at a jam only for someone to call this song. At that point, your best bet is to play random notes really fast and hope nobody notices.
