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 88.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 90.0/100. The standard deviation for this track is 11.5.

One of the best songs they did, always a pleasure to listen to.
This is as good as Dire Straits got. I could listen to the final five minutes of this song on repeat for hours and would never get bored.
Far and away Dire Straits' greatest song and one of the greatest ever in any genre. Knopfler proves to be a compositional tour de force here and also provides flawless delivery. A major musical accomplishment!
The track gets 100 of course, but the version on Alchemy is better, more emotion and atmosphere
The best song of Dire Straits. No doubt. It is an amazing song
