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)

It's a hit! It's also a very good Neil Young song.Better than you probably remember it being.
My only problem with this song is that it's a bit too short. Still, the song's fantastic.

Great replay value. Why?- because it's so short. Still great.
Great song among many on this album. It was hard to pick out my favorite from this album. (Edited)
I sadly fail to see its appeal and consider it one of the weakest tracks of the album.
