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)

This track has a Bayesian average rating of 76.7/100, a mean average of 76.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.8/100. The standard deviation for this track is 12.6.

Remarkably underrated. Bold, daring and catchy. Things that describe the man himself. Simply put. This is fucking awesome.
