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)

A catchy track, this and the opening track "Lucifer" are by far and away the stand-outs on this album for me. It was a almost reluctant 90/100 for me (rather than 85), as I think the Outro goes on about 20 seconds longer than it ought (too much of a repetitious repeat of the motif). However, the really good lyrics (verse + chorus) and the really cool minute long Intro and build up gave my rating the nudge upwards!
