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 90.9/100, a mean average of 90.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 91.2/100. The standard deviation for this track is 11.1.

Pop-Rock at its best, I love the intro to this song so much.

Such a brilliant song. That driving riff, Reed's perfect vocals, the simple yet righteous chorus. Just watch me now!
Gots to love what these 2 get up to on the weekend.
A bloody good song! :-)
