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)

One of the most beautiful songs ever created. I remember (when my voice was intact) how I used to give MYSELF shivers when I covered it, that's how incredible this song is (not saying I ever did this song as good as Dylan himself, of course). Sublime lyrics, sublime melody makes perfect song.
