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)
This track has a Bayesian average rating of 70.7/100, a mean average of 69.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.1/100. The standard deviation for this track is 16.3.

Demasiado parecida a Radio Ga Ga
Not much of a tune to this one but it's still alright. Similar to Radio ga ga lyrically, in so much as it's the man against machine topic. Like i said it's okay, just a bit messy and unfocused.
