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 the strongest openings tracks from the last decade. In my opinion the bridge and ending of this song is the best piece of music Coldplay has ever made. So powerful, just complete trance. (Edited)

What a way to begin an album. As it's been said before, one of the strongest openers of the past decade. (Edited)
A powerful opening track which shows you that Coldplay means business (Edited)

This is by far the best song Coldplay ever put out.
The outro alone deserves a grammy. (Edited)
