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 3% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 83.0/100, a mean average of 82.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 84.4/100. The standard deviation for this track is 15.0.

My Favourite ever Pretenders song, I know it's not as driving as Brass in Pocket rhytm wise but I think it has a hook and melody that suits Chrissie's voice even better than their monster hit, she sings this so well. Fucking Wonderful.
