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).

First off, the singer literally can't sing. Listening to him stumble through the dull drudgery of this poorly-written amateur-hour song is painful. And unlike Third Eye Blind's other big hits, there's nothing that could even remotely be described as "catchy" here. Just 4 minutes of relentless mind-numbing suckitude. (Edited)
nice ballad

Nice guitar line. An important 90's song, mellow, cool melody.
