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)
This track has a Bayesian average rating of 74.8/100, a mean average of 73.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.7/100. The standard deviation for this track is 16.1.

Personal favourite of his for me. The percussion on this is riveting. That last third goes so hard. Music video for the ages. (Edited)

Bad. Literally. And not in the good sense.
Always think about the music video with the rabbit whenever I listen to this track. Anyway, tis a cool one! Dat bass.
Michael does well with the vocals, and the production is great, but the song is too mellow and too slow-paced for a song about speed.
