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)

How can a song follow Nightswimming and still be mindblowing? Well Find the River does just this. What an stunning ending of a classic album. (Edited)
If I have the privilege of hearing one last song before I die of old age or sickness, this is it.

Cool, chill way to close out the album. Beautifully done. (Edited)
Once again, I agree with Jason.
