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 88.5/100, a mean average of 88.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 89.2/100. The standard deviation for this track is 12.1.

Excellent.
A great song, but I don't it's that much better than the other tracks on the album.
Love the singing in this song. Amazing

Cute song. The lyrics are probably the best part of the song. It's a great song and the chorus is recognized by most people. I'll look past the hints of alternative rock because other than that, it's a masterpiece.
Maybe my fav all time Petty song.

One of those accidental hit singles. A nearly perfect song.
