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)

Rocky number with some rip-roaring keys, Lake's strained vocals, and some rapid-fire drumming. Really nice song; my pick for the highlight of side two, either this or Bitches Crystal. (Edited)
I won't dare to say that this is the only good song on this album, but I can say it definitely is my favorite one. Not even close.
