Rating metrics: Help 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 91.1/100, a mean average of 90.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 91.3/100. The standard deviation for this track is 13.7.

My favourite Beatles track and one of the best songs ever written in my opinion. Love the guitar solo. 100/100

The single version of this track is a little better, but the album version is still great.

Best song on the album. Yes it's very saccharine but given that Paul wrote it about his mother it works. Just a beautiful song.

It's a good song, but totally overrated, it definitely doesn't deserve a 91.

A beautiful song, a kind of rock'n'roll hymn. Extremely spiritual and intensely moving, given the end of the Beatles wasn't that far away, it's a lovely creation, one of Paul McCartney's greatest contributions to the group. There is also a single version of this song, but this is the superior one with a much better guitar solo. Best song on the album.
