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 2% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 84.5/100, a mean average of 84.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 85.3/100. The standard deviation for this track is 10.9.

Absolutely beautiful, best song in 2019 so far.
Beautiful and catchy all at once. Adrianne Lenker is such a talented songwriter and still doesn't get the credit she deserves.
This is honestly one of the most beautiful tracks I have ever heard. It feels so honest and personal, while still having this mysterious and hypnotic feel to it. Gives me the chills everytime.

This song is terrific that riff really carries it. Then it hella blossoms at the end. The distant piano is a nice touch.
Never thought I'd catch myself saying this about a song about an old lady sitting in the middle of a river but uh... this song absolutely 100% slaps

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
