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 song is so beautiful and dynamic, the various instruments come together in perfect harmony during the entire song. Why is this not rated as high as Come On! Feel the Illinoise! and Chicago?? My favorite from the album along with those other two.

It is so immersive and atmospheric. Sufjan's songwriting skills blow me away.
Incredibly immersive, one of the better on the album by far.
