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)

Why is this song rated so low? I would have thought this would easily score a 90 on besteveralbums, it's such a warm sweet song that doesn't sound like it has aged one bit. (Edited)
One of Paul McCartney's most beautiful creations. Michelle, is a kind of Paris cafe ballad, French words and all. Some sublime chord changes and superb vocals from McCartney help to make this one of the loveliest songs(with, in my life) on the Rubber soul album. Perfect. (Edited)

Linda melodia embebida do pop francês.
