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)

God - I had the biggest turn around over this song. I used to believe there had never been a song that was more groundbreaking than "Centerfold". Over the years I have come to hate it. One of those songs that presently is cause for an immediate skip.

If this song happens to get stuck in your head, it won't leave for a while... That's not necessarily a bad thing
travelfulI can't stand Playboy, but this is one of my favorite tunes to whistle.
