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 89.5/100, a mean average of 89.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 89.9/100. The standard deviation for this track is 10.6.

A real nice phychedelic pop song.
Very nice song
This comment is beneath your viewing threshold.

The vocals remind me a bit of Jim Morrison here. Overall just a fantastic song. The guitar work is beautifully psychedelic, and yet not all over the place.
