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 89.7/100, a mean average of 88.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 90.0/100. The standard deviation for this track is 12.7.

I'm a little sick of her. But it's a great song. A classic too

A favorite U2 of mine, Bono's vocals are at his best. Probably their best song

It's slightly different from the first two tracks, sounding a bit like something from The Joshua Tree. But it's not as good.
