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)
This track has a Bayesian average rating of 76.9/100, a mean average of 76.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.9/100. The standard deviation for this track is 12.6.

Super underrated track, it's one of my favourite RHCP songs, cause it's just so different from anything else they have done and it's just so beautiful, atmospheric , sad and warm at the same time that makes me feel something no other song can.
As a mellow interlude this works well.
Nice song, reminds me of the smashing pumpkins in a way
This song could work better
Maybe a little too mellow, it drags
its a nice song
