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)

Just discovered this song... on my opinion better than their well known "Dancing Queen" and "Waterloo". The lyrics+singing+instrumentation (piano!) is great.

Best Abba song?
Come on, it doesn't get more melancholic and heart-breaking than this. Wonderful self-indulgence.
