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 is rated in the top 1% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 88.2/100, a mean average of 88.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 88.5/100. The standard deviation for this track is 9.7.

Psychedelic masterpiece. It's so trippy even without drugs. You could drink coffee and take a trip down to this 13-minute magnum opus.
Beautiful song, very underappreciated. Guitar riff is awesome.

Sounds to me like a precursor to Pink Floyd's Echoes

This is where the album really starts getting weird. Like you're floating between dimensions.
