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).

Why is this rated so low? This is one of the best songs from the britpop era!
This is anything but a low. It's an album highlight. Of course, I'm pretty sure Damon Albarn knew how ironic he was being when he named this song.

A brilliant, slow-burning Britpop gem.
