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)

Great vocals but little else to recommend this to be honest. The epitome of 80’s rock ballads with the obligatory guitar solo. Very formulaic and rather unoriginal but I think it sold shed loads so…… (Edited)
This song is the Gold Standard of 80's hair metal power ballads. Classic song with what may be Ann Wilson's finest vocal performance. (Edited)

It's the vocals. (Edited)

Awful power ballad. Heart should have known better. (Edited)
