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 84.7/100, a mean average of 83.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 87.1/100. The standard deviation for this track is 19.4.

After Chicago II, Chicago's track list is pretty spotty, but God damn if this isn't one of the best songs ever written.
A brilliant ballad in its own right, and also surprisingly one of the best driving songs I've ever come across.
Love this track, don't know why........
