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)

The Killers, at least for me are a hit or miss. Their music in general isn't that great. But their really good songs become my favorite songs of all time. "When You Were Young" is a song I love. It's up there with my favorite songs of all time. Not just the lyrics but the music just speaks to me on a very deep level. I just love this.
One of their best songs
Faux Springsteen, definitely. But as such it's really not bad at all! Not as good as anything on the first album either.
Even with a similarity to 'Born to run' I'd take this song anyday of the week, cause I can't stand the boss' monotone, drab voice.
Album fav
