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 90.0/100, a mean average of 89.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 90.3/100. The standard deviation for this track is 10.7.

This used to be my favorite off the album, and I still like it very much, but I don't quite think it's the best anymore. You can kind of look at it like this; As the albums most emotional track, it's more accessible and therefore misinterpreted as the best off the album. There's nothing wrong with it, like all other songs off Pink Moon this song is beautiful, but I just don't see it in the same light I once did.
