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 72.8/100, a mean average of 70.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.4/100. The standard deviation for this track is 16.1.

Cool JPJ piano solo and underrated Bonzo drum groove in the first half that is just almost entirely stifled by wallpaper ass boogie rock in the back half.

There are people who think that LZ was a heavy metal band. They couldn't have been more wrong. They got their influences from all kinds off musical areas. Bands who try to copy LZ's sound, just don't get that and that's why they don't get the Zep sound. This song proves that.
