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)

Adding to the comment left by Jboy56, this track has a feel similar to the first half of Bowie’s song Station to Station with its dark electronics and brooding, hefty groove.

It feels like the sonic world this album built up in the previous half hour is melting before our ears. Very interesting track.

A dark track, with the strong DB echoes from Heroes, perhaps
