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).

Quite possible the single greatest electric guitar instrumental. Eric's unmatched fluidity and melodic gifts are on full display here.
Johnson said Cliffs of Dover came from a higher place. It certainly sounds like it. Definitely top ten instrumental songs ever, up there with Song of the Wind by Santana.
