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 91.9/100, a mean average of 91.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 92.8/100. The standard deviation for this track is 13.8.

It's insane how good this song is. It's insane how no song after this one has sounded like it. It's amazing that a blues singer made arguably the first progressive rock song. I cannot believe that this song exists, and that it was released in 1965.
Very powerful song, clearly Simone's best work.

Absolutely incredible, a powerful and moving epic. One of the best songs I've ever heard.
One of the best things I've heard in my life!
