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 91.6/100, a mean average of 90.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 91.8/100. The standard deviation for this track is 12.1.

Just great. Never get bored
Great song... but a 92? Nah...
I was only joking when I said that I'd like to smash every tooth in your head
One of their best, and for a reason! Such a great song, and some of Morrissey's best vocal work :)
That acoustic rythm guitar!
Also love Mozz's vocals and armonizing. Well everything is fucking brillant here!
Amazing song
