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)

I love the primal nature of the atmosphere and of course the howling vocals mixed with the incredible touch of instrumentation itself. Great drum breaks in here. Just awesome.

This is so, so good. It's just the hustle bustle of life at it's finest, and I love how the impeccable playing is complemented by those moans and shouts by Mingus in the background.
