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)

This track should receive more recognition. I hadn't heard about it till I listened to this album while I knew other tracks from Dire Straits which aren't as great as this one, maybe it's because it was shadowed by the extraordinary "Sultans of Swing".
This excellent track should be rated higher than the 14th best Dire Straits song. It really should.
