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 87.7/100, a mean average of 87.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 88.3/100. The standard deviation for this track is 12.9.

The version of this song from Self-Titled is tied with There is a Light for my favourite Smiths song, but, for whatever reason, this version doesn't do much for me. Which is weird considering that I've known this one for a lot longer than the other.
