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 7% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 79.7/100, a mean average of 82.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 82.5/100. The standard deviation for this track is 9.5.

A genuinely brilliant track that sounds very inspired by eighties synth pop, but also feels fresh. The song's central narrative evokes growing up in a small New England town, with its cast of shadowy characters ("We lie awake at night in a tent and I say, / Tell me about your uncle and his friend / because they seem like very bad men. / Well we oughtta keep away from them." These lines aren't delivered in a dramatic or fearful way, just the matter-of-fact way that a kid might explain a thing he doesn't know isn't quite right. Subtly and effectively done.
