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 86.2/100, a mean average of 86.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 87.8/100. The standard deviation for this track is 12.3.

The last number one single in the UK for the Beatles. It's a great bluesy rock track about John and Yoko's relationship with the press during the course of 1969. Topped with a Christ allegory, with John putting himself in the place of Jesus, and like the son of god, he's liable to be crucified for his beliefs and lifestyle choices. A bit strong maybe, but it's a great song.
