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 stunning track that builds from a sweet, harmonic melody into a roaring, horn climax. My favorite song by Chicago.
Relaxing alluring soul tune at the beginning...Nothing to get you prepared for the spectacular cacophony of horns toward the end.

A relaxed bossa nova beat combined with elegant orchestrations and late 60s soul. One of my favorite songs of all time!
