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 91.4/100, a mean average of 90.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 91.7/100. The standard deviation for this track is 12.5.

Amazing, beautiful lyrics, set to a incredibly touching instrumental. Melancholic to the core. One of the greatest on the album.

Although slightly overrated by most, this track is just another jewel in the album's crown.

Such a beautiful and depressing song. The lyrics are just sad. It can make me cry on a bad day.

Carries the emotional weight and devastation of "In The Backseat" by Arcade Fire. I love both tracks to death.

Just realized how horrible that pun was...

This song is just so perfect. Everything works so beautifully, trumpet, guitar and voice, creating this real essence of beauty and loss. Magical

Took a while to grow on me, but now I can safely say this is one of the best songs I've ever heard. Emotionally devastating and overflowing with melancholic beauty.
