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)

Everything about this song is perfect: the simple stanza riff, Phil Daniels, cockney, lyrics and the Betles/Kinks chorus.

About the most British song that has ever been.

This is such a classic Britpop song. It's not their best, but it's still a good song.
My Chelsea FC plays this anthem as the players take the pitch...Go Blues!!
