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 1% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 90.3/100, a mean average of 88.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 90.6/100. The standard deviation for this track is 15.5.

THE ONE PIECE!!!!!! THE ONE PIECE IS REAL!!!!!!!
Every time I hear this song I feel like I'm ascending to heaven. One of the best hip-hop songs ever and a defining statement for perhaps the greatest hip-hop artist of all time.
No, you can't get a higher (better) opening track.

Probably one of the best opening tracks of all time.
"Can't we get much higher?"

The choir (would you call them that?) always gives me chills. When I play this track, there is always a rush I feel as I prepare myself for another listen on this incredible album.
