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)

Most typical Bowie song from the album. The lyrics are again excellent and bear witness to the fact that Bowie never limited his interests to music. Very beautiful is the melody of the chorus and the vocal performance. The piano is good, but doesn't really get the chance to play solo. Although this track, in my opinion, does not really fit thematically in the concept of Outside, it is - to say the least - a wonderful side step.
Apart from Outside, my favourite track on the album. Dignified yet enjoyable.
