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 and Hong Kong deserved to be on an album.
Incredibly underrated track, insanely well written, fantastic instrumentation and song structure. Absolutely incredible acoustic guitar chord progression, and blissful trumpets. Great lyrics as well, with a clever and sort of funny spoken part. Very layered song, and I think that it deserves a much higher rating. I'd say that it's equal to Hong Kong, which also has a pretty low rating for the song quality in my opinion. Two of my favorite Gorillaz songs.
