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)

super eerie but heartwarming at the same time
Lovely instrumentals that accompany beautiful lyrics that promote mindfulness. I love the repetition of the lyrcs,'park that car, drop that phone, sleep on the floor, dream about me.' Because to me it seems as if the artist is trying to remind us to remain rooted in the world and the people around us. I dont know if that makes sense to you all but to me i find that very touching
My favorite song ever. I listen to it everytime i'm depressed , and everytime it manages to blow me away.
Brings the tears.
Great, a bit repetitive though
