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)

A lovely Stevie Nicks composition that is one of her most obvious songs written for bandmate and former lover Lindsey Buckingham: "You fell in love when I was only ten." Only a slight exaggeration, since the two fell for each other in high school and have remained musically, if not romantically, connected ever since. A sad tale of longing and romantic hardship.
