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 84.9/100, a mean average of 84.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 85.1/100. The standard deviation for this track is 10.6.

Few songs are so instantly recognisable.
A fairly standard rock song - good but not great for me. Energetic

Perhaps the definitive glam rock tune.
Cool track :)

Very happy riff with a cool solo

Love the tones on guitar and bass. Could have been on the Honky Dory album or the Grease soundtrack.
Really nice song!

LOVE the riffing on this track with a really sweet solo. Overall just a really fun song.
