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)
This track is rated in the top 1% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 90.0/100, a mean average of 89.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 90.3/100. The standard deviation for this track is 10.7.

There's always this sentiment when a band who've done *literally* any other genre than pop go and decide to write a pop tune that they have to be written off there and then. They're sellouts, they're sappy, they're no worth listening to anymore.
Here then is shining proof at how f*cking stupid that naiveity is. Rock The Casbah absolutely bops.

What the hell is he saying? Still one of my favorites to mumble made up lyrics along with.
