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)

The only reason this song is rated so low is because it comes after The Only Living Boy in New York. It's a great, fun song.
Barely acceptable. Lowest point of the album.
Not actively bad, necessarily, but kinda sucks right after the heavenly meltdown of "The Only Living Boy in New York"!
