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 may be the best Pink Floyd song. Just as good as "Wish You Were Here" and "The Great Gig In The Sky".

One of the best songs on the album. Gilmour's vocal part is definitely the highlight of this song.

Pink decided it's time for him to get back to society, but he can't break out of The Wall.

I really like that small part with the same rhythm as the Brick songs.
