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 19% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 77.6/100, a mean average of 77.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.8/100. The standard deviation for this track is 14.9.

Eddie is in top form here.
I thought Jason would love this one. I know I do.

Not terrible, but the song never really seems to reach a climax of any kind. Some nice licks though.
