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 87.0/100, a mean average of 86.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 87.5/100. The standard deviation for this track is 13.9.

Everything about this song is so great. The bass line, the sample, the vocals, the rapping, the hooks, and the sound effects. A real work of art.

If you've ever wanted to know what it sounds like in your head when you're enthralled and obsessed with your ex or someone who isn't as keen as you are, well, this is about as close as I've managed to find an equivalent for just yet.
I really wish I could put into writing how that synth-piano riff that backs every "A boy is a gun" line makes me feel, but I don't think it's humanly achievable to put that much meaning into words on the internet.
