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)

My wife and I chose this track as our first dance as man & wife at our wedding, so I may be a tad bit biased. I still am moved to tears by it after nearly forty years. Quite often, one thinks of Prince as a salacious pervert that has only one thing on his mind, but this track indicates that there was a romantic soul under that horn-dog exterior. It is a perfect ending to a near perfect album.
Tedious filler.

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
