Rating metrics: Help 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 74.7/100, a mean average of 73.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.6/100. The standard deviation for this track is 15.1.

I actually think this song is pretty decent myself, especially the first verse as have always liked Bono's lower register voice for some reason

Fair enough track with a bit of a homage to King of NY - Lou Reed - with the early Bono vocal on the track

A lot of U2 fan don't like that song. But I don't know, I love it. The live version in Boston prove my point
