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 90.4/100, a mean average of 89.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 90.8/100. The standard deviation for this track is 15.1.

no thanks
I don't care what this song is supposed to be about, I can't listen to it without thinking it is about masturbation.
This is my soundtrack to when I'm feeling myself, figuratively
Epic song about masturbation.
Fap fap fap, bitches.
Such a perfect track. If it were electric, it wouldn't be the same. Being acoustic makes it even better.
Great song!
From a punk folk perspective, this is a great song.
