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 10% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 79.0/100, a mean average of 78.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.4/100. The standard deviation for this track is 13.7.

Oh no, my most dreaded “On my Knees“ tagline, what’s more is a “Help me Please” to go with it. Yikes.

Admittedly a surprise to hear because of the more direct prog feel/sound and I’m not really the fan of it. A good solo section but this has gotta be one of my very least favorite songs the band ever did.

Unfortunate filler on an otherwise....killer...album.
