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 great bluesy rocker that is a brilliant way to kick off the album. Like Now I'm here, it confidently swaggers and struts itself over the course of it's playing time. A totally infectious track that would remain in Queen's live set for the rest of their career. One of their best rock songs.
Great opening!
