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)

Bowie's vocie on this album is just fantastic (Edited)
How great is Bowie's vocal on this. Perhaps the first signs of that deeper resonant vocal whilst still adding that Ziggy London-nasal at parts. People did in fact "stare at the make-up on his face"
This is a superb piano driven song (Edited)
That Piano intro is timeless, this song is truly underrated and definitive of Bowie and the album. (Edited)
Another great track on a great album :)
