Rating metrics: Help 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 70.1/100, a mean average of 66.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 68.4/100. The standard deviation for this track is 18.0.

Here we have another typically uninspiring 'Dirty Work' track, the actual title track, that is neither great not bad. It plods along without much conviction and acts as the album's token swearing song. Tut tut. Actually the next song too has a naughty swear word.

Not awful but nothing great either. It's just ordinary, it doesn't really do much for the amount of time it plays for and then it ends. Extremely average.
