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)

I love these lines from "Something I Learned Today": "Yield to the right of way / Stopping at a four-way sign / Someone else's rules, not mine, not mine." I live in rural Minnesota, and there are several four-way stops along my commute to work that happen to be in the middle of big cornfields. The punk rocker in me--my inner Bob Mould--sometimes just wants to blow right through those things as an act of pure defiance.
great catchy opener
