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)

The arrangement here is close to jaw-dropping.
The chorus just explodes with auxiliary instrumentation including deep and harrowing horns that surround and enforce the bass guitar and jazz lead guitar. Oh yeah, prime Elton John is fronting the band too.
Stunning.
Eltons finest deep track
