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 85.6/100, a mean average of 85.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 86.1/100. The standard deviation for this track is 13.5.

Something in those solemn synths acknowledges something far greater than what is already encapsulated in this gender-bending tune. It's a dedication to intimacy, a thought-provoking take on gender roles and relationships, and a total class act of pop production. This is Prince at one of his most vulnerable yet also most forward-thinking and romanto-political moments.
"Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be" // "We'll try to imagine what silence looks like".
