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 have to say, "Give It Away" is just a complete blast. The whimsical bassline and upbeat guitar riffs always lift my spirits, and the lyrics are all about spreading positivity and getting rid of material things. It's such an uplifting song that just makes me want to dance with a big smile on my face. How can you not feel happy listening to "Give It Away"?
