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 86.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 87.3/100. The standard deviation for this track is 12.4.

Might be my favorite song ever. Tied with Beach Boys/Brian Wilson’s “Caroline No” and The Beatles “She’s Leaving Home”
Beautiful song!
Sometimes the more simple the better, this is a good example, one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever for me.
One of my favorites off of the album!

Really enjoyed Nico's vocals here.
You have to wonder about Nico's voice. The accent may at first appear unattractive, but the voice just works so well for the songs she's in. I'll Be Your Mirror is kinda like an old Disney song. But it's WAY too short.
This song is so lovely. Nico's voice works so well on this.
