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)

Wish I'd read garycottier posting first, as thought there was something wrong with my ears or equipment when I started this track, an odd fade-in to it, wonder why the decided to do that!
Great fun song. I'm still not sure why they decided to fade the song in. Oh well, it's a superb party anthem. Excellent.
Kinda funky.
