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)

One of the coolest songs ever! Very nostalgic.

Love the music video, and the way he sings is fantastic. It's like he's just talking to you. He's telling you a story but moving his voice up and down at times to categorize it as singing. It sounds so regular but I can't wrap my head around it.
