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 91.6/100, a mean average of 90.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 91.8/100. The standard deviation for this track is 11.6.

so overrated this song my goodness, one of his most average tracks hehe
Great song among many on this album. It was hard to pick out my favorite from this album.
I sadly fail to see its appeal and consider it one of the weakest tracks of the album.
Great song

Great replay value. Why?- because it's so short. Still great.
My only problem with this song is that it's a bit too short. Still, the song's fantastic.
