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 74.4/100, a mean average of 73.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.9/100. The standard deviation for this track is 11.8.

Perhaps not the most important track on the record generally, but man that intro is just ripe for the sampling picking. Have to imagine that’s made its way to a hip-hop track or 20. (Edited)
Late 60's everyone's having a psychedelic dabble. Starts off well, could be moving into something good then it stops. Think they got bored.
