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)

Perhaps my favorite VH song.

Some of the best vocals on the album. Great great hook.
I'm not a big Van Halen fan, but this is one of my favorite Van Halen songs.

While I'm not a huge David Lee Roth fan, the vocals on here are amazing and emotional.
