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)

Clappy happy beginning then acoustic guitar, nice harmonies suddenly twanging guitar, intermittent drum now were underway, driving beat, fuzzy guitar, soaring vocals. Whoa this is good. Slowing down, quieter ending - yet full of interest.
Great opener

God I love The Shins. When I pop this cd in and this song kicks it off, I just smile. Kind of weird but thats how in love with it I am.
