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)

One of Marr's dreamiest and slowest riffs. Like a lot of his early Smiths compositions, it's filled-to-the-brim with a ton of juicy major-seventh chords.
A lonely late-night song.

"Life is never kind, But I know what will make you smile tonight"

Well, a little tired, such a underrated song, but couldn´t be overrated too, maybe the wickest from the album
