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 83.3/100, a mean average of 83.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 83.9/100. The standard deviation for this track is 11.8.

I really get a "The Who" vibe from this one, great song!
When ever life gets hard and people don't believe in you and 'start parking their cars on your chest', don't give up, carry on and fulfil your dreams. Listen to the Shins and everything will seem so much better. Know your onion!, You know it makes sense.

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 :(
