Rating metrics: Help 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)

A song that conveys some of the manic energy that Lindsey Buckingham brought to the recording sessions for Tusk, as he brings about eight minutes' worth of lyrics to a song that clocks in at just over two minutes. Nice distortion-heavy bass by John McVie on this track. (Edited)
