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 catchy, upbeat, infectious new-wave/pop song that certainly caught my ear when it came out. Had never heard of OJ at the time but bought the album and 40 years am still loving it. Can't sit still at all when Rip it Up playing and such great sounds (Edited)
