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 87.5/100, a mean average of 86.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 87.9/100. The standard deviation for this track is 12.2.

When working as a DJ in the late 70s this was a trustworthy slow song, every time got people to the f loor. An evergreen

This should be considered the highlight of the album alone because of those gorgeous 10CC-esque backing vocals. The song as a whole might be cheesier than the rest of the album, but imo also more beautiful.
