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)

After a lot of consideration, I've decided this is my favorite Dylan song of all time. (Edited)

Such a beautiful and melancholic song. (Edited)
Probably my personal favorite from this album. Such a bittersweet, tender song with Bob delivering a great guitar and vocal part. (Edited)
