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 Is a slower-paced song with dark lyrics about soul-searching in a car, about dreams and the shattering there of. It’s a raw and atmospheric track
This track sort of epitomises the difference between DOTEOT and Born To Run. No more “wall of sound” grandeur on this track. It’s got that harder, rockier edginess I love on Darkness.
Great piano work and it’s a builder of a track and I love the roar
This is a beautifully constructed song. A goosebump track for me (Edited)
Good slow burner with great vocals and some twinkling piano. The build-in and the final minutes are the best parts.
Kind of soft and slow.
