Rating metrics: Help 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 85.8/100, a mean average of 84.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 86.5/100. The standard deviation for this track is 15.8.

Probably my favourite Queen song, okay it's clearly not as good as Bohemian Rhapsody, but I just love the instrumentation on this one

This is the inferior album version. It misses out the lovely intro and the keyboard solo in the middle and doesn't have that lovely mix that the 45 did. If they had put that version on the album it would have certainly enhanced it. That's why I have given this one 85, where as the version on the second Queen greatest hits album is worth 100.

I'm surprised that this song is not better rated. Freddy Mercury's voice is for me over all other 70s & 80s other singer's voices and gives particularly to this song a strong power.
