Rating metrics: Help 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)

This track has a Bayesian average rating of 74.9/100, a mean average of 73.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.7/100. The standard deviation for this track is 15.0.

A dramatic choral (no lyrics that is) and instrumental piece. Almost Stravinsky like (especially say around the 2 min mark). Mellows out and a swirling keyboard synth flows and leads right into the final track, Genesis

I think this is what the "Dawn of the third Day" theme in TLoZ Majoras Mask came from. Sounds pretty similar at least.
