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).

The first of Freddie Mercury's two rants at pop managers(the other being A night at the opera's Death on two legs). It's angry, but not quite as vitriolic as 'two legs' would be. A very good song, great how it moves into Lily of the valley.
