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)

In the middle of a crop of brilliant tracks, Wandering Star has pretty much always been my favorite. The groove and deep pocket created by the bass and drums is just undeniable to me. Beth’s vocals here are also some of my favorite on the album.

Not the best song on the album
