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 92.2/100, a mean average of 91.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 92.6/100. The standard deviation for this track is 11.5.

This makes me want to spent the rest of my days with someone, just loving each other and doing nothing at all, just relaxing and laying in the beach or anywhere... it doesn't really matter as long as i'm with that person... and then, we finally die after years and years of being together that felt just like the best spent hours of our lives.

Very possibly my favourite song of all time. "Out of all these kinds of people, you got a face with a view"

This song is great, but the live version on the Stop Making Sense DVD is even better.
