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)

Until recently giving In Utero a listen with good headphones, I didn’t realize the power brought by Krist’s bass guitar on this track and Dumb.
Outstanding song placed brilliantly on a marvelous record.
Doesn't hit me in the same way as the majority of fans ( from the ratings) but it is still in the top six tracks on the album.
