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)

Fantastic chorus with a Bono singing like no other than Bono can sing!
A song that very well represents the U2 sound. love it
Great lyrics. My personal favorite line is "You lied to me 'cause I asked you to."
Reminds me of "Heroes" by David Bowie and "Sally Cinnamon" by the Stone Roses
Pretty underrated track by U2
