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)

A great sweeping melody and a few references in there to the past. Great vocals and lyric style. The song wouldn't have been too far out of place in his mid 80's sound and I could see it on Never Let Me Down - but it is a far superior track to any of that record - however, this is the standard he should have been delivering then so that we never doubted him.

One of those Bowie songs that you have to listen to a few times before everything fits and then you keep coming back to it. 85/100
