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 20% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 77.8/100, a mean average of 76.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.5/100. The standard deviation for this track is 12.6.

Stranger than the sunrise
Darker than the night
Fiercer than a rainstorm
This is man's delight
This is man's delight
Weaker than a moment
And hot as any fire
Blinder than the blind eye
This is man's desire
This is man's desire
I ran to a place in the open sea
Where I pledged my life to the sun
It was good for a while
I could laugh, I could smile
But when I woke up one day
The sun had gone
I ran to a place in the open sea
Where I pledged my whole life to the sun
It was good for a while
I could laugh, I could smile
But when I woke up one day
The sun had gone, had gone
Had gone, had gone, had gone, had gone
So, what of my meaning?
What am I trying to say?
What of my caution?
Im a man anyway

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
