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)

Best song on the album. No cap.
So funky
As great as the album opener is I think I have, after endless replays of both, come to the conclusion this one is even better. Fantastic.
Hmmm... Is this the best song on the album? Quite possibly. The first several tracks on the album are all nothing short of perfect.
