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)

Beautifully sung by Liz Fraser and one of my favourite songs of all time. I want it played at my funeral.
One of the greatest songs ever written (vintage Tim Buckley) and the best rendition of it I've heard. It's so hauntingly beautiful.... in a way that sorta stirs up some deep secret; some forgotten promise to some long-lost love. Such a god damn masterpiece!
