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 76.0/100, a mean average of 75.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.9/100. The standard deviation for this track is 11.3.

The wine's all drunk and so am I

slurs PG against a background of a tinkling bar-room piano in another perfect example of atmosphere in song. Waiting for the Big One is supremely crafted piece of easy to listen to melody and stop/start tension. If the album was going to have a weak link it may be this one but it isn't because this song is superb and just adds to the spellbinding nature of this album. Phenomenal stuff!
