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 has a Bayesian average rating of 62.6/100, a mean average of 61.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 61.6/100. The standard deviation for this track is 21.3.

This is one of the three best songs on the album, next to Tremor Christ and Corduroy. I don‘t get where that terrible rating is coming from. I guess some people see this as a joke because it‘s a little weird. But it‘s still fantastic and sets the tone of the album for me.
Annoying
I'd join the bugs too.
it's good but not that good though

There must be bugs in the rating system here. This is the best song ever, guys! Charlie N. George might even cover it some time!

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
