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)
This track has a Bayesian average rating of 65.6/100, a mean average of 64.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 64.9/100. The standard deviation for this track is 21.1.

You could copy-paste what I said about "Useful Idiot" here, except this goes on for several minutes. Really just feels like a waste of time

Doesn't need to be as long as it is, but it serves a purpose going from AEnema to Third Eye.

Nice, deep atmosphere but really pointless filler track, at least I'm giving it a higher rating than Useful Idiot because this song actually creates atmosphere other than make a pointless noise for a few seconds.
