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)

Slow beginning and takes some time to get going but we receive the message loud and clear in the end.
'And if the old guard still offend'............ 'Off with their heads'.
Possibly now being a member of the old guard I won't hold this sentiment against them but will quite happily say this is a brilliant two-paced opener.

This is beautiful. It's a simple blues song turned into an electronic dreamy track. Simply lovely.
Solid song
