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)

A decent track. Scandal is Queen's rant at the tabloids,(they hadn't even got started as far as Freddie Mercury was concerned), is one of the album's best tracks. Memorable guitar riff and a bit of bite in the vocals make this a highlight of an uneven album.
