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)

Deserves a higher rating...One of my all-time fave album-ending tracks.
Proto-Disintegration right here
Back on track with this song and ends the album well
Not a highlight/something I would revisit on a walk: 80 for a good song...
I love the bass here, and yes it is a wonderful ending to the album
Unbelievable end to a great album
