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 76.0/100, a mean average of 75.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.1/100. The standard deviation for this track is 9.8.

Supremely mediocre song about breakup and internal conflicts that the narrator feels about ending something that he thought was right, but turned out to be exploitative. Has this poppy feel to it that's catchy, but doesn't make a statement about relationships that I've never heard before. The ideas examined in a lot of these tracks are pretty tired, and so they fail to stand the test of time.
