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 90.8/100, a mean average of 90.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 91.1/100. The standard deviation for this track is 11.2.

One of the great songs of '60s. Catchy guitar licks, frantic drumming, and of course Daltrey's stuttering. The highlight of the album.

The big drum part at the end really makes this song.

One of those standards thats too well known that its almost a part of music itself, hence impossible to like. Weird, I know... like Stairway to heaven, Hotel California and many others.
