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 65.2/100, a mean average of 62.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 62.2/100. The standard deviation for this track is 20.8.

There were many (uplifting, not to me) songs about 'winning' in the mid 80s. There is a twist though, Mick is 'winning ugly' and willing to do what it takes to win, even if it means bending the rules. Not an awful track but then again quite forgettable.
A more contemporary sound here. It's not too bad, certainly better than those horrible rockers on side one. As it is, this is not a bad start to side two.
