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)

Timelessly catchy. Bowie bashers, take note of this song. It's brilliant. (Edited)
I've been listening to this since I was a little child.
This is one of the best openers of all time (Edited)

The first Bowie song I've ever heard, this is one of many songs that has cemented Bowie as the greatest solo pop star of his era. (Edited)
Incredible, second only to Life on Mars on the record. (Edited)
