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 89.4/100, a mean average of 89.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 89.7/100. The standard deviation for this track is 10.2.

Decent riff but far too repetitive, overrated. (Edited)

One the best riffs of all time,. Bowies Satisfaction (Edited)

Legendary riff, fantastic chorus. Fantastic in its original glam rock x proto punk form, but also fantastically reworked into poppier form for his performance at Live Aid. (Edited)
Iconic proto punk song with a fantastic riff.
One of the best live songs by Bowie!
