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 90.1/100, a mean average of 89.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 90.6/100. The standard deviation for this track is 11.4.

@Romanelli "Just a fine song", really? Jeez..
Top song.
Leva alegria, nostalgia e um ar cool na hora em que é ouvida!
One of the best tracks from the 80's.
sparkling 80's synths
Great song
This is a stunning song, so powerful and so perfect.
This is an absolute masterpiece, definately underrated here. It should be a 90 easily.
absolutely mind blowing
One of the best of the 80's New Wave hits. Just a fine song.
