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)

No words, just, amazing, in every way possible, one of the greatest songs to close an album
I wanted to like this song, but it made me uncomfortable while listening to it. It's not good enough to be worth it.
"who hears when animals cry?"
Guy's....yeast is murder.
