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)

As of the time of this review, this song rating only a 77/100 shows me one thing: a plurality of English people 'get' Van Halen about as well as a plurality of American people get Roxy Music... It's sad really, but: let's be friends - here's the olive branch. It's called "Drop Dead Legs." You'll love it. 100/100
That guy was right. This is like a Zeppelin song.

Straight up rock n roll! Excellent song. Less pop than the rest of the album.
