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)

This powerful stripped-down demo is an argument against the supposed brilliance of Phil Spector, the producer who had one great idea in his life but no understanding whatsoever of the virtues of minimalism. (Edited)

This is sooooo beautiful. Love the beautiful stripped down delicate piano and McCartney's voice is better without the fairy tale clutter of the original. Guitar piano voice. Perfect. (Edited)
The grandiosity of the original is just better (Edited)
