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)

I love how they use the piano like it's a percussion instrument, which I guess you could argue that it is.
Only the end of the world could be so epic. (Edited)

Pretty cool song. It's really dark and it really sets the tone well for what is to come on this album.
10/10 Superb song. (Edited)
That's the way you should start an album (after the short intro)!
