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 1% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 87.7/100, a mean average of 87.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 88.0/100. The standard deviation for this track is 11.8.

Incredible hypnotic intro. The guitar work yet again is fabulous.

The absolute best debut single of all time. So tight and fresh, with a punchy attitude and a glorious jangle-pop vibe. What an amazing song.
