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)

A real slow burner, but it pairs well with the lyrics and imagery. The song is essentially about the slowing down and numbing of everything as one grows older, and this message really adds a new depth to the instrumentation. I also really like the lyrics here; the are very sensory and kinda stream of consciousness in a way that draws you in well if you are paying attention
