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)
This track has a Bayesian average rating of 75.0/100, a mean average of 73.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.9/100. The standard deviation for this track is 16.4.

An enjoyable, if lightweight rocker. It's fine for the album and like a lot of tracks on the album it pleasantly passes three or four minutes and then you move onto the next track. Fun disposable rock'n'roll. Nothing more, nothing less.
