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)

Half-hearted rocker on an album swimming with ballads. Is it a nice break from the overall sombre mood or is it just alien. The latter for me.
A rockin' tune

Surprisingly fun for REM! They aren't typically the band I'd go to for music like this, but they actually do it really well. A nice break from the somber mood of the rest of the album.
