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.

When that riff kicks in at 50 seconds in, I get goosebumps...
Great fast paced song, Johnny's guitar playing is top notch

The harmoniser on Morrissey's voice sounds terrible. Just hire someone to sing backup.
Great song... but a 92? Nah... (Edited)
One of their best, and for a reason! Such a great song, and some of Morrissey's best vocal work :) (Edited)
