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 track has a Bayesian average rating of 76.2/100, a mean average of 76.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.3/100. The standard deviation for this track is 10.1.

"Cottonseed" isn't terrible, but it feels like a track that's trying way too hard to sound badass. Both Mike Cooley's lyrics and his guitar playing seem forced and clumsy, all in an effort to channel the song's narrator who has "put more lawmen in the ground than Alabama's put cottonseed." That's all well and good, I suppose, but this is a track that I often skip when listening to the otherwise great The Dirty South.
