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 88.7/100, a mean average of 87.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 89.0/100. The standard deviation for this track is 13.6.

One of the best psychedelic songs of all time. That melody is really top level (Beatles/Beach Boys level) and the instrumental climax is just eargasmic.
Wonderful buildup and a truly monumental climax. Absolutely gorgeous

Terrific song , easily my favourite off this album. I’ve added it to a playlist list of best ever songs. It’s worth checking out this album for this track alone

The only song on Merriweather Post Pavilion that can compare to anything from Strawberry Jam, Feels, or Spirit They're Gone Spirit They've Vanished.
