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)

Not a big fan of the killers, but as a kid I loved this song. When I started getting into my teens and into music, I’d have this song stuck in my head, and for the longest time I never knew what it was, until one day I listened to unknown pleasures and found the original even though I knew that wasn’t the one I knew as a kid. Today I rediscovered this version and it’s still an amazing listen, although I’ll take the original nowadays.
An excellent Joy Division cover. The Killers rock the hell out of that coda.
