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 90.1/100, a mean average of 89.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 90.5/100. The standard deviation for this track is 14.5.

This is by *far* the best track on this album and among his best (which I'm happy to see it's ranked as his #3 best song of all time behind Runaway and Power - that's exactly where I'd put it) Chance KILLS it - as do the other guests.
Not a huge fan of this album, but this track is fucking magnificent
This song made me religious.

Kanyes best opener imo.
