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)

Incredibly underrated and underappreciated track that you'd only know if you spent some time listening to the Wildflowers album. Some of the most evocative lyrics of Tom Petty's career: "It was me and my sidekick / He was drunk and I was sick / We were caught up in a barroom fight / 'Til an Indian shot out the lights." I have no idea what the hell is going on there, but it sure feels like a story.
