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)

Dis-orientating. Suppose that makes it psychedelic status

Easily the worst song on the album and one of the worst ever by the Beatles. "Please don't be long.." and it is. Far far too long.

Yeah, not the best one in the album but it's not that bad. I think people criticise this song overmuch. (Edited)
