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 2% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 85.7/100, a mean average of 87.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 87.1/100. The standard deviation for this track is 10.7.

This is a great, rockin’ track from Ryan which has taken on far more cultural importance as the song was supposed to be released on September 11, 2001, but following the terrorist attacks on the Twin Towers, it was postponed to November 26.
Following the attacks, the song was seen by many as an inspirational anthem of healing for the city of New York.
It’s actually a love / breakup song and I think the words New York need to be substituted for the word Amy (“I still live you Amy” rather than “I Still Love You New York”) as Adams wrote the song asbout his ex-partner called Amy Lombardi from his brief time living in New York.
According to Wiki “After the attacks, Adams decided not to play the song live and requested that the song would not be licensed for media, because he did not want people to feel as if he was exploiting the tragedy for his own personal gain. He made exceptions for the New York Yankees, who played the song during games in the old Yankee Stadium, as well as the NYPD and the New York City Fire Department.”
I wasn’t aware of any of this at the time of first hearing the song, I just thought that it had a great hook and was a brilliant song. Knowing this now, the song resonates more with me that ever.
