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)

I was flipping SiriusXM stations and ran across a rerun of Casey Kasem's American Top 40 from the 80s. He was talking about female rockers and referenced this song, saying it is the first heavy metal song with a female singer to make the Top 40 in America. So aside from being a kick ass song it's a piece of history, too.

Brix Smith Start called this a "kickass song from the 70s", and I for one second this opinion.
