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)

So soaring and uplifting following the heartbreakingly beautiful "Crown of Love". What an amazing album!

So wonderful. It's so epic. It just makes me want to raise my hands in the air and sing the "ooooh"'s with the rest of the band.

The first section is strong and powerful with a brilliantly simple riff. The second section is so rich and beautiful you just never want it to end as he sings. A masterpiece
