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 89.4/100, a mean average of 88.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 89.9/100. The standard deviation for this track is 12.2.

Bowie's most soulful song inspired by the Philly soul scene. Great track.

This song just barrels right in like a coke-fueled train ride. Its energy mixed with the wide-spread arrangement and Bowie’s soulful yet near manic delivery makes for such a catchy and memorable track.
