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)

It should be in 'Pacman'? What the heck are you smoking this is a ROCK CLASSIC!!

A lot of people hate the flashy 70s long solos but I love them. I think it shows how much fun soloing can be. This is one of those songs. Very long guitar/keyboard solo. It is very experimental and almost sounds like it should be in pacman. But still it's an amazing display of musicianship.
