Rating metrics: Help 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 understand you don't want your music to be labeled, but as soon as songs are released they are publicly owned. There are also worse things than being called "Gothic Rock". "Gothic" is a very creditable and tolerant subculture. The doom and despair in this song are striking. It is clear that we are very close to the total and inevitable apocalypse. Nothing wrong with it.

One of the darkest Cure songs. Also among the best.
