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 91.6/100, a mean average of 91.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 92.0/100. The standard deviation for this track is 12.4.

This is a brilliant song and kind of encapsulates everything great about the band into a tight and melodically-layered package.
What’s more is I feel it’s one of the songs on this album that sets the stage for Disintegration quite well.
One of my favourite songs. Just brilliant. The bass, synth and guitar all gel together perfectly. 100/100

I prefer "Close To You" as my favorite song by The Cure.
Who doesn't love this song? So innocent.

When those cascading synths kick in, everything just seems to feel fine.

One of my favorite songs of all time. From the lyrics to the guitar riff, it really is one of the best songs The Cure ever made.

The only thing that couldn't be described as absolutely perfect about this song is its quite abrupt ending.
