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 88.2/100, a mean average of 87.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 88.3/100. The standard deviation for this track is 10.8.

Such a perfect opening to what I see as a perfect album! I will never forget the first time I clicked the play button on this CD and was greeted with this explosive and dreamy song. This song is also arguably the best example on The Bends of the direction that the band was going to be heading towards on OK Computer.
