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 has a Bayesian average rating of 76.6/100, a mean average of 76.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.6/100. The standard deviation for this track is 12.3.

Lovely instrumental, I like its style.
Pleasant enough but does it really deserve a place on this album. It's a pygmy amongst giants.
Fit for purpose instrumental

Not sure what they were going for here. Probably just trying to stress the fact that this is an album that needs to be listened to as such. If so... genius.
