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 74.3/100, a mean average of 72.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.2/100. The standard deviation for this track is 17.8.

While it definitely sounds cool, it sort of feels pointless

I thought Onater was making a funny joke, but:

"The track "Mantra" is the slowed-down sound of Maynard James Keenan gently squeezing one of his cats.[26]" (Wikipedia)

This track is actually the slowed-down sound of Maynard gently squeezing his cat.
