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 87.8/100, a mean average of 87.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 88.0/100. The standard deviation for this track is 9.8.

One of many great rockouts by the band that perfected rocking out. Love that la-la-lalala-la-la-lala-lala-lalala bridge.
Reminds me of Zep II

One of those classic riffs. Amazing guitar song with some really nice beach-like hippie vocals by Robert Plant. Definitely an anthem.
Did you know, Robert Plant was in a car crash which almost cost him his legs in 75'? He was rushed to some lowly hospital where he tried to pick cockroaches off the bed. And the guy next to him, some drunken war veteran, saw him and began singing "The Ocean." Poor Robert!
