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 2% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 85.7/100, a mean average of 85.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 85.9/100. The standard deviation for this track is 10.6.

That's how you introduce an album! Awesome heavy guitar and drums with some badass lyrics.
Great opening track!
One of the coolest songs I've heard in years, and I only heard it once when typing this! I love how it begins with a very In the Air Tonight style solo.
11/10

Great song! Really heavy and an excellent solo.
One of just many great songs on 'Ten'

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
