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)
This track has a Bayesian average rating of 73.9/100, a mean average of 72.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.5/100. The standard deviation for this track is 13.9.

OK, I confess that I never knew before, until just now, that "Hokoyo" (Shona, Zimbabwean) translates to "Live".
Now I better understand the track a bit: "You needn't think that life has turned against you, I tell you for true, Hokoyo, hokoyo"
Where was google translate 40yrs ago when I bought the LP. Bah 8-)
