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)

This track has a Bayesian average rating of 77.0/100, a mean average of 76.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.1/100. The standard deviation for this track is 14.0.

Derivative lyrics, poor chorus, great bass line. Not sure why you would open up with this one except for the tempo.

The song is cool but that chorus really sucks.

The first minute is gold, then comes the chorus with that freaking MAJOR JONIC SCALE up and down that has literally nothing to do with the rest of the song's harmony. This is something even a student wouldn't do.
Harris bass is brillant here and I would give it a high rating for that but I can't help but give this lower rating for that awful songwriting of the chorus.

A throwaway track to a legendary album. I almost feel like they threw it in there ironically.
