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)

A beautiful dreamy song that goes down a little when the innecesary rock ending kick in.

At first it sounds like it'll be another cool track, but then it turns into a dreamy lullaby. Not exactly Cream.

And then it goes to the chorus where it's faster and more Cream.
