Rating metrics: Help 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)

Another relatively poppy sound - if not for the daft lyrics and sound effects at the end

"I know a mouse, and he hasn't got a house, I don't know why, I call him Gerald. He's getting rather old, but he's a good mouse."

Ok Syd. (Edited)

The first half is okay, but it's the spooky ending that really does the closing of this album some justice. (Edited)
