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)

At first I wasn’t impressed, but it appears this is now a masterpiece and I can hardly go a day without a listen.
The album could do without this. It's a filler track.
Moody, love the first 3 minutes in particular.
Probably the worst song in the album, it's just meh
