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 song is so addictive.
If you don't love this song, then "You have not been paying attention, paying attention, paying attention..."

The quiet part where he sings "It's the devil's way now..." is so beautiful! I love that chord progression.
Great track with references to the novel.

HAIL TO THE THIEF
The only song where I drive at the speed of light not caring of anything. Don't listen to this song while you are driving
