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 2% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 85.0/100, a mean average of 87.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 87.6/100. The standard deviation for this track is 9.3.

I can see why some might consider this the best or one the their best songs, but I was found it to be too comercial and a lacking bit of soul. The "Closer to Home" epic, the heartfelt "Heartbreaker" and the pop rock classic "Bad Time" are better songs.

One of those overplayed, overdone bar songs. Before this, GFR was on the verge of being a really great American band.
