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)

If this ain't the greatest song to come out of the Britpop scene, I don't know what is!!!! As people have said before, its a perfect song. (Edited)
This is where Britpop peaked, classic. Perfect song in every way.

Classic track, one of the few I rate at 95.
Evocative lyrics and performance/delivery
The ultimate 'Brit pop' anthem. A superb song with Jarvis Cocker on top form. Brilliant song.
