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)

Known this song for years with the catchy electric synth pop - but another excellent funky bass just spotted on the re-listen after years absence
Cheese levels that break all known records, but at the end of the day, Poison Arrow absolutely kills it.
One of the worse songs I've ever heard.
