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 84.4/100, a mean average of 83.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 84.6/100. The standard deviation for this track is 11.8.

Love the weird synths on this one. Feels kinda apocalytic. Some parts could have been improved, but it's still great.
Good track with nice bridge and melodic bass with early use of snyth and drum machine sound

Nice tune but the vocals are really something awful.
The ending is cool, but the song itself is a bit too repetitive
