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)

"F*ck." feels like the only appropriate response to 'Where Are We Now'. Had me gobsmacked when it dropped out of nowhere back in early 2013. It was insane that he still had it, and even more insane that he had made something so deep. Cause I'll be damned if this doesn't get me every time; makes me think of my love of him, of the people and places that have left my life, and what it's all worth for.

One of the best tracks Bowie has ever written. Absolutely beautiful.
Good, but a bit repetitive
