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 7% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 79.7/100, a mean average of 80.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 80.8/100. The standard deviation for this track is 9.6.

Early Sonic Youth is as mad and confusing as only getting water by licking condensation off of car windows, and I Dreamed I Dream is no different. What terrifying menace lies underneath it, only kept caged by the confines of that razor sharp bass line.
"I Dreamed I Dream" not "I Dreamed A Dream". I love how dark the lyrics are, such a strange song, even for SY.
