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)

What a song. The piano intro is superb and sounds nothing like U2, but then the Edge's signature guitar comes in. And it just gets better from there. One of their best.
Reminds me of Coldplay with the piano and guitar intro. Vocal and pacing also similar. As it breaks into the chorus it reminds me of 80's U2 before bursting into a Snow Patrol "oooh oh oh ooooh..." I do enjoy this song
Perfect live song
This really sounds like All that You Can´t but with a different sound, but still too incredible
