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)
This track has a Bayesian average rating of 75.3/100, a mean average of 72.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.3/100. The standard deviation for this track is 20.4.

Queen always had strange songs but this is one of the strangest of all their songs. A bizarre opener that has an exotic North African/Turkish feel to it. Some nonsense words mixed with some real ones it's a brilliant creation and one of my favourite opening tracks on all Queen albums. Great song. (Edited)
