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)

Disagree with the negative comments , Great song Lennon's voice is amazing on it . (Edited)
A rocking bit of filler. Nothing more than that really. It's, well, just okay.

Honestly this song annoyed me quite a bit.
Fast paced and emotional. Lennon pleads for answers in a relationship gone sour. Lennon's strong vocals give a lift to a fairly ordinary song. (Edited)
This song is actually unpleasant. The vocal harmonies in the chorus hurt. (Edited)
