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 91.1/100, a mean average of 90.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 91.3/100. The standard deviation for this track is 12.1.

Reminds me of "For Those About to Rock We Salut You".

Downtrodden, hopeful, utterly compelling. My favourite song of the Noughties on a good day. That resolving guitar break after the energy of those opening drums is such a fan-fucking-tastic moment. Turner's cynical yet perfectly toned lyrics never get old. The last 90 seconds or so is outstanding. What an incredible song.

Listening to this song propelled me into the Arctic Monkeys, now I'm a huge fan (preferably of their early work). This is probably in my top 5 all-time favorite songs in general!

Such a great song. I love when the solo kicks in and it goes from like chill and quiet to epic head-banging music. Sick.
