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 90.2/100, a mean average of 89.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 90.5/100. The standard deviation for this track is 11.9.

The SOLO!
Great lyrics, a great chorus, and a f**king amazing guitar solo.
One of the best off the album
Best song about an incestuous relationship between a mother and son ever written.
my favorite Pearl Jam song.
Fantastic!
Great song! One of the many that define Pearl Jam. You're going to love the guitar ending.

One of my favorite Pearl Jam songs. Eddie Vedder's vocals shine on this one, but the guitar work is incredible. Actually, it's an all around perfect song.
