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)

Violin Phase is an exercise in patience.
The first half had me convinced I wasn’t fond of this track. From that point on, however, the rhythms start to grow and expand and become like a gargantuan Rubik’s Cube of sound. It makes for an insane and remarkable payoff.
