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)

This track has a Bayesian average rating of 71.8/100, a mean average of 71.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.6/100. The standard deviation for this track is 15.7.

Yet another cover. Although well perfomed and an enjoyable listen, Lennon /McCartney were writing better stuff than this. (Edited)

Another rock'n'roll cover. A decent combination of two classic tracks, it's an enjoyable cut with a great McCartney vocal. Good way to fill up the record. (Edited)

It's interesting how early they used to do medleys. Paul always liked them and would use them later on. (Edited)
