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)

A kind of precursor to Bohemian rhapsody, the March of the black queen, is all over the place musically and vocally, although in a good way. Yes, it's totally pretentious and ridiculous, but it's a lot of fun and shows Queen's talent for song arrangement. The only annoyance to me is the over the top backing vocals, apart from that, it's an early Queen classic.
A lot of stuff going on, it gets better after repeated listenings.

Showing some Queen muscle, bomastic and pretentious. sheer fun attack.
Queen II's equivalent to Bohemian Rhapsody.
