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 3% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 82.7/100, a mean average of 82.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 82.9/100. The standard deviation for this track is 10.7.

To answer Romanelli, why are "Horizons" from "Foxtrot" or "Bookends - Theme" from "Bookends" so highly ranked even tho songs like those are usually very simple or repetitive? You have to look in the context of this album. It stylistically suits it perfectly and it's *good enough* to keep it running smoothly. I think that's why it's ranked so high. :)

This song is far from the Velvet's best work. Not sure why it's rated so highly...
