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 88.8/100, a mean average of 88.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 89.8/100. The standard deviation for this track is 11.9.

About as good as AOR-radio-length-epics get. Fantastic hooks, playing and sequencing.
Over played, but it's so great idc.

I don't care how overplayed this is, I never tire of it. A brilliant song in construction, production and delivery. It never wears out its welcome.
A big, bloated pile of pseudo-classical pomp.
