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 93.7/100, a mean average of 92.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 93.8/100. The standard deviation for this track is 14.1.

Phenomenal poetry and social commentary in one. Just a wonderful piece of music. Without doubt one of the greatest songs of all time
Is it good? Yes. Is it great? Definitely! The greatest song of all time? Not quite, I’d even Desolation Row is still much better. But, it’s come all this way with this much praise, and while it may be slightly overrated, it still makes a generous claim to fame.

One second in and I'm already floored. Simply spectacular and anthemic.

The seventh most icon song ever (according to research, see https://www.besteveralbums.com/thechart.php?c=62924).
Not much to be said, simply legendary.
