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 8% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 79.3/100, a mean average of 79.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.5/100. The standard deviation for this track is 11.5.

I might be wrong, but I think this arrangement could have inspired Daft Punk's 'Get Lucky'...

A hidden gem on this less than stellar album. Smooth and laid-back, with an excellent beat.

Excellent song. David Bowie impresses me with the different style of songs he can write.
