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)

So endearing, tasteful, well done, depressing, beautifully arranged (I love the strings) and at the same time so palatable and accessible. Truly an amazing piece of music! (Edited)
"Losing My Religion" is widely regarded as one of R.E.M.'s most iconic songs and a classic of 1990s . From time to time I listen to it and recall that time with unforgettable Michael Stipe’s performing dance. As far as I remember it was inspired by a Japanese art called butoh.
Fantástica em vários aspectos!
