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)

I first heard this as a Robert Palmer cover, many years ago. So this is the original? I never knew. Even with the best will in the world you always miss stuff you should know (no internet in those days. All you heard was either on the radio or what you or your mates bought. It was so limited, looking back. It must be great to be young and love music and be able to listen to full albums at the click of a mouse). You don't know you're born.
