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 74.9/100, a mean average of 73.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.5/100. The standard deviation for this track is 7.8.

Probably the single most underrated track in the entire Bowie oeuvre. I like the Tin Machine album okay, but this song is better than the rest of the disc put together. Fine composition, great noir feel, fantastic guitar hook and dramatic drumming in the chorus. Not sure why no one else notices it. It stood out drastically from the first time I heard the album back in 1989.
