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 75.2/100, a mean average of 73.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.1/100. The standard deviation for this track is 15.9.

The piano isn't anything special though, but it sounds very nice. Kanye's use of autotune is pretty good, but the lyrics and repetitiveness of the track make it a bit boring. The violins towards the end are beautiful though, and save the song from being dull.

It's solid, a bit drug on
