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 73.3/100, a mean average of 71.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.1/100. The standard deviation for this track is 17.1.

Screaming the words doesn't make it so. Bowie really f'ed up a beautiful song. Hard to believe Lennon approved of this and performed on it. Shows what a coked out time they both were having.

The Beatles version worked cos of its dreamy atmosphere, Lennon sounded so relaxed that you could believe that nothings gonna change his world, whereas Bowie shouts as if he doesn't believe the words hes singing.
