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)

I was walking back home from school yesterday, and this song started playing on my cellphone. I don't know what it was, but it just seemed I was walking in slow motion in the middle of a war. Fuck, that was the greatest thing ever! Looked like the song got me high. (Edited)
As soon as the song begins, I feel as though I've just walked into a Middle Eastern opium den. I'm greeted by a leather-clad woman who's holding a whip in one hand and a syringe in the other. (Edited)
Velvet puts a lot of scary-sounding chords in the background, and it sounds really unique and beautiful. One of my favorites off the album. (Edited)
Probably my favourite of the album, that viola is just amazing. (Edited)

Very beautiful, arab-like sounds. Psychedelic song about kinky sex... what a notion. (Edited)
