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 77.2/100, a mean average of 77.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.6/100. The standard deviation for this track is 9.0.

I thought that this track wasn't as good as the three great tracks from track 4-6, but more so like the three average tracks on this album. The Wrong Year has good aspects, and when listening to the album the song isn't exactly skip worthy but possibly the most forgettable track so far. I'd say this song is a turning point for the worst, for the album.
Nice guitar riff but it's turned down too low! Sounds better live
