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 75.1/100, a mean average of 73.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.1/100. The standard deviation for this track is 15.8.

Country/rock filler. It's OK.
An enjoyable country number with a great middle eight. In his book, many years from now, with Barry Miles, Paul McCartney claims Ringo sang this. Oh well, what does he know? Decent bit of filler.
I can appreciate some of the guitar work. They weren't half bad at the country stuff.
