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)

Best track on the Brothers In Arms album
Gorgeous song, essentially a lullaby. One of my go-to's for when I need to relax from the world.

I didnot expect that suuuuuper chilled out 4-minute outro, and I loved it.
Love the guitar picking on this one

Cool, chill song.
The music is well detailed, and the lyrics are pretty cool. Very good soft music.
