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 90.8/100, a mean average of 91.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 91.5/100. The standard deviation for this track is 9.9.

Perfect beautiful song
This song was used in the last episode of "that 70's Show" and i found Big Star after that
One of the most tender and haunting songs I'v ever heard. Simple acoustic arrangement with clear lyrics. The soft backing vocals add to a beautiful build up.. The sound of melancholy lies so deep within thi song.
ONe of the most pure songs BIg Star ever made and a little bit outside their usual ground.

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
