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)

A term I use very seldom: Barnburner. This track is an absolute barnburner.
Great track on a great album.
The bass!

Man, this thing just keeps building and building and building, instead of just repeating parts of the song the band piles new ideas on top of the old ones.

Killer track. Shreds everything in its path.
