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 remember this song selling me on Foo Fighters completely close to the time Wasting Light came out. The music video was pretty interesting and if I recall correctly, I caught them playing this on The Daily Show.
I loved the progressive edge to their more power-pop approach. And of course, as a drummer, the drum break before the guitar solo is an excellent touch.
One of my favorites from the band.
Great classic-style Foo song.
