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)

24/7 Sylvia Plath? I get that.
Such a beautiful track. Really connects with the listener. And again, despite being over 5 minutes, you end up wanting to have some more of this song despite the modest instrumentation.
This Twitter ready anthem, another piano ballad, is pretty well executed for what it is, elegantly emphasizing the sadness in such a thought. Still, I want this one to do more- if may have been a mostly forgettable closer if the album had been made up of more active songs, but as an album mostly of folk piano ballads, it ends up blending in and providing a somewhat welcome, yet somewhat empty, conclusion.
