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 91.0/100, a mean average of 89.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 91.4/100. The standard deviation for this track is 14.0.

Simply amazing.
Absolute genius. The fact that it’s so short makes it even better than it already is
Before Moz put lyrics to it, this song was originally called the "The Irish Waltz"
Quite simply, one of the most beautiful songs of all time. It's so heartbreakingly short, as well. It's like Marr knew what a wonderful song he had written and decided to leave his listeners aching for more.
This song is beautiful. If you haven't already, check out the live version too. It really is great.
