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 3% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 82.0/100, a mean average of 81.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 82.2/100. The standard deviation for this track is 12.3.

My favourite track of the album. Never gets boring
This song helped me grief my fathers dead, in 1985. Perfect.
I dislike the intro (which was omitted on the shorter lp-version). Otherwise, great track.

I'm such a sucker for saxophones...
A Steely Dan/Dire Straits concert would rock!

Peaceful smooth jazz-rock. Not bad.
So jazz and rock do mix. This song was good, but not as good as money for Nothing.
