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 track has a Bayesian average rating of 74.5/100, a mean average of 73.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.3/100. The standard deviation for this track is 14.8.

Emmett Till’s dreadful murder must have struck Dylan very hard. Poor Emmett was just 14 when he was kidnapped and murdered, pretty much for talking to a white woman. Dylan and Emmett were born about a month apart. It is not hard to see how the horrific injustice of the killers walking free from the courthouse and the unfolding story as they confessed to the killing a year later would have captivated and angered the teenage Dylan.
