Rating metrics: Help 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 91.2/100, a mean average of 89.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 91.6/100. The standard deviation for this track is 15.5.

My favorite song of all time, though Pyramids edges it out as Frank's "best" song

Everything that was said below me I agree with 100%. That bridge is just insane, the instrumentation is outstanding, and I am in love with the ending section.

Best song of 2016, best Frank Ocean song, in my opinion. The use of guitars in the beginning, the beat, the lyrics, geez. The guitar breakdown at the beat switch is legit one of the coolest things I've ever heard.

Ocean reaches peak boldness with Nights. This is a whole other level of aural experience. It's like nothing you've ever heard before.

You know how Pixar gets a lot of praise for managing to convey so much emotion without using words, just visuals? Ocean does the same here, just with sound.

I'm beginning to think this might be one of the best songs ever, and indeed one of the best 5 minutes of sound ever created.

That climactic bridge... Oh my fucking god...

My favorite lyric of the year:
"Still got some good nights memorized and the look back's getting me right."

Simple, but such a strong line.

This song really proves Frank as a master songwriter; and the production is so scintillating as an addition
