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)

A little cheesy, but I love the groove of this song.

This critical statement about the polution hippies caused showed that Pete Townshend didn't like Hippies that much.
I honestly enjoy every track from Who's next, and don't think of any as filler.

Pretty experimental. Not one of my favorite songs on the album though.
Least favourite on the album
