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 has a Bayesian average rating of 75.4/100, a mean average of 75.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.4/100. The standard deviation for this track is 12.5.

Freddie Mercury's answer song to John Lennon's imagine. Imagine? No, Life is real, get it? It's also a tribute to Lennon and it has a feel of the late Beatle's songs, especially the piano sound that Freddie employs. It's a beautiful song, heartfelt and at the same time slightly angry response to Imagine. Good song.
