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 2% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 84.6/100, a mean average of 85.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 87.0/100. The standard deviation for this track is 12.3.

Saved the album's best track for last. A moving, powerhouse piece of music that only needs a handful of words and a relatively simple melody (mostly just Elton's piano line, a shaker, a drum machine, and the mellotron flourishes in the "chorus") to tell its story. Written as a tribute to a young messenger from John's record label who was killed in a motorcycle accident at the time of the album's writing, its beauty is in its simplicity and serves as a fitting tribute. Belongs with some of his best material.
