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 90.6/100, a mean average of 89.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 91.0/100. The standard deviation for this track is 12.6.

Great song I hear the feeling of very thin person but the track has so much to offer.

Still Bon Iver's most emotional track
This song is the 399th highest rated track of all time on this site right now, which is great, but I really feel that it should be in the top 50.
Very nice

This track'd convince everyone to listen to this group, mistakeless!

As someone who fell way too hard for an anorexic, I took this song very literally at first. Withering and withering she was. Now I can see it for what it actually means, but the dual meaning for me only makes it all the more incredible.

This is my absolute favorite song of all time. It's heartbreaking, honest, devoid of irony, and deeply meaningful. That kind of song is hard to come by, and to do it this well is rare, and I can't help but love this one.

I only heard this song a couple of months ago. I can imagine feeling very nostalgic in the future when I hear it.
