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)

Paul's genius shines through here. I can imagine people were put off in 1980. Fourty years later, our ears can handle it better.
A superb creation. McCartney creates dance/rock. Way ahead of it's time, it's a great track and probably sounds better now than it did in 1980. Brilliant.
