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)

Very repetitive riff and a simple song, but I love how the lyrics evoke teenage alienation and insecurity. "Ask the girl, of the hour, by the water towers watch. If your friends take a fall, are you obligated to follow? Time after time after time."
One of the weaker songs
