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)

I dunno if I'm being a bit predictable here, but it took me until *that scene* in Lost In Translation for the penny to drop on Sometimes. Don't get me wrong, I've always loved it, but after that bit smacked me in the face, the whole thing just fell into place. Firmly one of my favourite songs of all time, it aches to listen to.
Perfect choice for the soundtrack to one of my favourite films. (Edited)

The acoustic ballad of the album. Except it's still soaked in the ocean of distortion that is "Loveless."
My favorite MBV song easily
