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)

Definetly one of the most expressive, evocative and powerful lyrics ever written. This is how first love feels like.

Bush's astounding creativity is put to superb use here in this tense and fast paced masterstroke of a song. Bursts out of the album with wild power and soaks you in its sense of helplessness. I love it.
