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)

New Jack Swingdustrial. Most other songs feel meagre once you let this into your life. Dense as FUCK. Enormous as HELL. Nasttaaaay beyond belief. Choreography that requires body cunt no one else seems to have dared to try attaining since it dropped. A towering achievement of androgynous broad-church call-to-arms perfection.
