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)

Beautiful harmonies here. This song is to The Beatles what Our Prayer is to The Beach Boys. (Edited)

One of the most incredible arrangements of vocal harmonies in rock history. Everything about it is ethereal. (Edited)

I think Queen could have taken a thing or two from it. (Edited)
