Rating metrics: Help 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 track has a Bayesian average rating of 74.8/100, a mean average of 73.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.8/100. The standard deviation for this track is 15.0.

A Lennon /Mac original with a bouncing beat, lots of hand clapping and slightly rough vocal delivery.

Not their strongest. (Edited)

Not the greatest of Beatles songs and Paul McCartney gives himself an awful lot to do in the vocal department. Still, it's alright as filler, but certainly not the most memorable of tracks. So-so.
