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)

It still surprises me when this band comes up with a melody this good. A fine song.

It's actually appalling how good this song is. Every time I listen to it my mind screams that it should be too cheesy, too vapid and trivial, too appeasing and annoying, even.
And yet it steers itself just a touch far enough way from that line to be absolutely, unequivocally brilliant. The crowd-pleaser to end all crowd-pleasers.
I really like this song, although get the comment that he feels a bit out of place on this album. Love the guitar bridge towards the end of the song

probably the worst song on the album, but it's not a bad song though
The music video is horrible, but the song is excellent.
