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 don't care much for the acapella bit in the middle, but the chorus is good. A little bit too long for me.

If Bohemian Rhapsody never existed, this would be their best song. The monstrous scope that it purveys is impressive.
Check out the metal band Manowar if you like this sound.

A very well composed song. It is massive and theatrical and helps elevate A Night At The Opera to a higher level.
