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 16% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 78.2/100, a mean average of 78.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.3/100. The standard deviation for this track is 12.0.

Often regarded as one of the weaker tracks on her debut but to me it is right up there with Oh To Be In Love, James & The Cold Gun, and the amazing title track The Kick Inside . Moving, Wuthering and Child In His Eyes are the best tracks.
