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 88.6/100, a mean average of 88.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 89.0/100. The standard deviation for this track is 12.3.

What an amazing song
True to Moz and Marr's mid-century nostalgia, this is quite possibly the most theatrical Smiths' song, with its two-minute piano introduction and a composition that is so hopeless, it's hard to believe that it could be tongue-in-cheek like a lot of Smiths lyrics.
At the same time, it is absolutely beautiful and heartbreaking. Moz's wolf-like wailing in the last two minutes of this one might be my favorite vocal moment of his career.

This is truly the guiltiest of guilty pleasures. An indulgence of self pity that certainly earns the rank of one of the most dramatic songs of all time.
