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 89.3/100, a mean average of 89.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 89.7/100. The standard deviation for this track is 11.7.

One of the most full and enjoyable songs on the record. On an album that often looks backward on bittersweet memories in the lyrical matter, Sweet Thing really stands out as the most positive, forward-looking tune. Essential Van Morrison right here.

Young lovers walking over lush green countryside, lying down for a picnic at the top of a hill. It starts to hurl it down with rain so they take shelter under a tree, kissing with laughter. Life cannot be better
