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 83.5/100, a mean average of 84.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 84.6/100. The standard deviation for this track is 10.0.

One of the best live performances. Gillan vocals are spot on and so is the rest of the band. They all deserve musical medals for this. Incredible solos and really trippy/experimental section in the middle. I wonder how often these guys experimented with stuff other than music...
