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)

Apart from Illegal Alien this is my least favourite. I like the drumming but otherwise it's pretty non-descript.
Solid attempt at a dark pop song about a hired assassin. The highlights here have to be Collins' rapid-fire drumming, Banks' atmosphere-setting synths, and the dire bridge describing the target on the run. Far from a spectacular song, but one of the better tracks on the album's second side.
