Rating metrics: Help 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 86.3/100, a mean average of 86.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 86.7/100. The standard deviation for this track is 12.2.

"Dr. Jimmy and Mr. Jim. When I'm pilled you don't notice him. He only comes out when I drink my gin." The longest track on Quadrophenia, a complex song with strings and horns combined with one of Daltrey's strongest vocal performances. It's about the effects of amphetamine & differing personalities.
