Rating metrics: Help 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 88.6/100, a mean average of 88.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 89.2/100. The standard deviation for this track is 13.3.

Have to be honest to say that the original had a more electrifying vocal performance. Seems as if they wanted to make a non-explicit version as all the "fucks" are cut out? the "fuck me like you mean it this time, Isaac" line was the peak of the whole song for me. Still a great track though.

I think the new lyrics fit this song like a glove. They didn't shoehorn in some out of place bars, it follows the themes and offers a nice reinterpretation. I do prefer the single version, but this is still amazing and packs the same punch the older one did

I really, really hate to be that guy, but the original version is better. The lyrics are better, the drums are more crisp, and Isaac's vocal delivery is much more intense on the original. I do like the new guitar intro though.
