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 4% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 81.6/100, a mean average of 82.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 82.2/100. The standard deviation for this track is 8.8.

The Clash take the lightest and most fun of rock n roll beats and whack on one of the most cynical, tongue-in-cheek songs on top of it. If it doesn't make you want to dance, you aren't listening to it loud enough.
