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 often assume this to be my least favorite track on Blue, which isn’t such a damning statement when it comes to an album like this.
However, Little Green is so purposeful in the context of Blue. Joni plays with colors to portray the child she is separated from as a source of hopeful light in a world so dark and cold.
Little Green crushes everything it sets out to do as a song, and crushes me each time I hear it.
