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 88.5/100, a mean average of 88.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 89.3/100. The standard deviation for this track is 11.4.

Another highlight on Abraxas and it’s hard to write something about such a familiar track without repeating what’s been said 1000’s of times before.
Phenomenal guitar solo that hooks you in and this is probably my favourite song on the album, simply because I rarely hear a guitar solo that makes me as emotionally connected to it as this one does. The slower tempo just adds to the beauty of the track. It’s extraordinary.
