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 generally place Mike Cooley's contributions to Drive-By Truckers albums a notch below those of Patterson Hood and Jason Isbell. But this is one of Cooley's best. I love the line in which Cooley refers to a Grammy Award as a "gold-plated paperweight." Not sure if Drive-By Truckers will ever be mainstream enough to win one themselves, but I doubt they care.
