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 5% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 80.6/100, a mean average of 80.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 81.9/100. The standard deviation for this track is 11.5.

This could actually be the most beautiful song ever. "Working in the halls of shame" is just a genius lyrics.

This song opens the album with Jay Farrar's acoustic guitar laying down a languid, almost lazy-sounding chord, just before Max Johnston's fiddle bursts onto the scene, setting the tone for the rest of this record. "Could carry that heavy load," Farrar sings, "if I really thought it would matter."

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 :(
