Rating metrics: Help 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)

An absolutely bonkers song, but absolutely brilliant. One of the most bizarre of all Queen songs, but with superb witty and ironic lyrics that includes a reference to Fat bottomed girls, it's companion track. Bicycle race is classic Queen.

A song about a bicycle seems fairly innocent. Then try and read the lyrics! Wonderfully weird tune and a welcome revisit to their earlier more progressive-oriented songwriting.
