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)

When Dylan wrote this timeless beauty in 1963 it was the second or third best song he’d written*
It didn’t make it onto that years Freewheelin’ or either of the next years albums. In fact, it didn’t appear on an album until this 1985 compilation. Would have been great on Another Side instead of ballad in plain D.
*Blowin’ in the wind and maybe Don’t think twice (Edited)
