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)

Unparalleled in its beauty, somehow Van sounds a little more exposed here, a touch more fragile than usual. Then he sees those rainbow ribbons.
One of the album's true blues-folk tunes. Van's vocals are magnificent as always, and the violin in the background is wonderful. Not a huge fan of the harpsichord sound in general, so it gets a bit annoying as it gets used throughout all seven minutes of the track. Still well worth a listen or two.
