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)

One of the few times where new music has borrowed the sound of an old genre and actually worked really bloody well.
Reminiscent of those pop soul/funk songs from the 70s that you think you know, yet also thoroughly new. The result? A contemporary dance masterpiece that never fails to please.
Despite its old origins, it's become a staple of the early-noughties and rightly so.

Not a fan of this genre of music but this isn't a bad listen. (Edited)
