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 87.2/100, a mean average of 86.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 87.7/100. The standard deviation for this track is 11.4.

A Love Song? Geez this is a girlfriend/stalker from hell, I'm absolutely petrified, but whole heartedly want this girl to be mine as well, didn't we all , still a cracker years on 😉
Overplayed, but not without a reason.
A great, fired-up, new wave song. Classic Blondie
