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)

You know, I'm an absolute sucker for new wave and trying to pick any kind of favourite song from the genre is such a task because there's so much to choose from.
But this, this really is a cut above the rest. It might be that piano in the second half, or the tension of those guitars that follow the chorus, or perhaps the fantastically addictive riffs scattered across the track, though like all of my favourite songs, I'm not really quite sure.
