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)

One of my favorite Michael Jackson songs. Criminally under-appreciated in my opinion. Michael's voice is so soothing and the melody makes you want to cry sometimes. "This Is It" 's performance is even better but sadly we'll never get an official version of that.

Love this track one of the best songs on this album Human Nature is so smooth and moody I'm not surprised Miles might have had inadvertently had a hand in it.

This is my favorite track of the album, which I know is not very common. But I just think that it has one of the best melody lines I know, and feels like I'm listening to a very intimate side of Michael Jackson.

Miles Davis has appropiated this one for me. You can hear it on the "You're under arrest" album if you haven't.
I listen to it as if it were a cheesy cover of a M.Davis track.
