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)

Criminally underrated.
Probably the weakest song on the greatest album of all time; it's kind of plodding. Some great moments but it doesn't warrant the amount of space it's given (unlike .3, which invokes strong emotional responses for the duration). The buildup towards the end really salvages the song.
