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)

"Lullaby" is a very strong and original song. The line of approach offers numerous possibilities and Smith chooses the most exciting to work out the song. Apparently the track is playful and entertaining and the danger and the threat are obscured. The guitars in the intro sound sublime and the strings that build an instrumental chorus (note the subtle, delaying effect on those strings. Sublime!) are a delight to listen to. In terms of arrangement, Smith opts for simplicity, and that makes the song a little bit out of the ordinary on the album. But who will regret that? (Edited)
this song is great (Edited)
