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 2% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 85.1/100, a mean average of 85.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 86.0/100. The standard deviation for this track is 10.1.

I bought this album on the strength of this single (probably also influenced by the fact that SM were a very hip band at the time) because I'd also loved Glittering Prize. I thought, two cracking singles (I never liked 'Miracle', the first single from the album, but then it's all about personal taste isn't it?) must be worth investing in...
