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 87.9/100, a mean average of 87.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 88.5/100. The standard deviation for this track is 12.5.

What an incredible song this is! Del Palmer's bass playing those long bending notes are also magnificent and fits so well with Kate's wonderful voice in this restless song.

The kind of song that makes you wonder and marvel at how such a talented artist as Kate Bush could ever have come into existence. She just knows how to make music that stuns on every listen.
