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)

Beautifully boring. (Edited)
Right up there with the best concluding tracks ever. Astounding.
This song makes heart break beautiful . Listened to this on a winter's day with snow falling. A sound track for winter blues

Certainly the best breakup song of all time. Songs like this overshadow the rest of the album, if you ask me, but then again, this song is one of the most beautiful ever.
