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 song, but that chorus is kinda goofy.

No way can this be over-rated, great track.
Maybe overrated on occasion, but still an amazing song and one of the many highlights on MC&TIS
One of the highlights of the album

First seconds, "the world is a Vampire" *begins epic percussion and guitar riffs*
