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)

I agree with DeusExMachina. Youtube jumped me to this track and when I listened it I felt like I hadn't for a while. After a few listens I don't consider it a masterpiece anymore but still it has a fantastic keyboard riff combining with great vocals.

Phenomenal subtly in its words and sound, and gorgeous production place this high among rankings of the best songs of the last decade in my book.
One of those rare tracks that manages to elicit an amazingly intense emotional response - I think it's something about that slightly forboding tone, the tension in the lyrics and the deftness of its minimalist delivery that combine to drag up thoughts and feelings you haven't explored in a long time.

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 :(
