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)

Great track, just feel it would have been better suited later in the album (Edited)

COOKIE... Nice feel good song. (Edited)
One of the lesser tracks on the album. It doesn't really do a lot but certainly doesn't out say it's welcome. So-so. (Edited)

Lovely song. Really calming and soothing. Just tell yourself to hold on. (Edited)
