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 88.8/100, a mean average of 88.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 88.9/100. The standard deviation for this track is 11.8.

A truly amazing transition from SOYCD 1-5. This song is spacious sounding, with its dark theme, that really solidifies this as one of the best songs on this album. Truly underrated

When Shine on you crazy diamond ends I am always happy to know Welcome to the Machine is next. This is a major achievement. Most songs fall flat after Shine, this doesn't for me. At all.

After almost 15 minutes of build up and hopefull messages it goes straight in this dark song. The background sounds really add to this "big" song
