Rating metrics: Help 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)

The album starts with Five Years predicting us heading towards an ominous end. That song follows a similar pattern with the song building towards a crescendo with Bowie's vocal screaming out a crushing delivery.
This song is an inspired ending and helps fans join dot to dot a storyline that ends neatly with the suicide of our adored Star.Classic

This is such an emotional song. Very deep, very reflective. Truly one of the best closing tracks ever. The only downside is, that it is too short. I always have to repeat it twice, because it is so good.

Great way to finish the album, incredible rhythm and the repetitive drums when he says YOU´RE A ROCK N´ROLL SUICIDE sounds magical

The greatness of this song is amplified by the power that it carries as the culmination of this wonderful album.
