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 song was originally going to be used by Jeff Beck but he decided not to record it.
An absolute classic, and one of the most iconic soul / funk songs ever. (Edited)
One of the best songs ever recorded. No doubt about it. (Edited)
This song simply cannot be overrated! (Edited)

Quite simply, a song for the ages. It’s already proven that. How can you not be overcome by the groove of this song or the quirky but jaw-dropping, layered clav and horn arrangements. How about the vocal performance?
A+ class. All of it. (Edited)
