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 88.8/100, a mean average of 88.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 89.4/100. The standard deviation for this track is 14.2.

Grandiosa!

Along with Tuesday's Gone, this is another of the most beautiful songs ever written. The vocals can get a bit overwrought at times but overall,t here's no denying the power and simple beauty presented here.

Muy parecido el arpegio a lo que despues sería Fade to black de Metallica
Stunning
Best southern rock song I've ever heard. I don't care what they say about Free Bird, this song beats Free Bird by a long shot.

Words can't describe how great this song is. So damn emotional.
