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 91.1/100, a mean average of 89.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 91.9/100. The standard deviation for this track is 14.3.

If it doesn't make you want to steal a car and go on a rampage, you aren't listening to it loud enough. When that guitar comes back in after the brief pause halfway through, f*ck me...spinetingling.

I can't stop feeling the incredible power of this track
True badass power of the white boy rapper resides through every note of "Sabotage."
This was the song AND video of summer 94
