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 83.7/100, a mean average of 82.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 83.9/100. The standard deviation for this track is 15.5.

Prince the pop star and Prince the rockstar meet here in tumultuous fashion. Such serene, synth-soaked melancholy fills the first half, whilst the second explodes in evocative, powerful rock-stardom. One of the strongest tracks on Purple Rain, and that's an achievement in itself frankly.
Much better at the end.
