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 88.4/100, a mean average of 87.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 88.8/100. The standard deviation for this track is 11.3.

Absolutely one of my favorite songs of all time and I wouldn’t have opened the colorful, nostalgic Goodbye Yellow Brick Road album any other way.
In roughly 10 minutes, Elton and his stellar band take you through a weaving, kaleidoscopic highway of sound and eventually one of the great rockers in his catalog.

A bit strange opener for a single album, but perhaps for a double this is quite okay. With a long instrumental intro, it turns out be a rocker.
Rock on!!
Great intro put into a cool instrumental and a cool lyrical performance.
