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)

Again, don't sleep on this track. It's an absolute banger. Every note right in place. (Edited)

This song is amazing every note is specially architected to work w/ the song. (Edited)
This sounds like a very weak Simon & Garfunkel song. The nadir of the album. (Edited)
Favourite on the album
One of the weaker songs
