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 88.7/100, a mean average of 88.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 89.3/100. The standard deviation for this track is 10.6.

I can’t stand the way the drums are playing the opposite of what is expected in the verses, it sounds amateurish compared to the unbelievable chorus and all of the auditory greatness that comes with it.
Damn this song just fills my ears, then fills my heart with sadness
One of Eric Clapton's best songs

One of the greatest songs from the album
A great song, but as with most D&TD songs, it might take me time to REALLY enjoy it.

Never in my life will I hear anything as tear inducing as "Do you want to see me crawl across the floor?"
