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 90.1/100, a mean average of 88.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 90.3/100. The standard deviation for this track is 14.6.

Again I marvel at how the Edge can make a guitar sound like this. It's such a simple song instrumentally, but it feels like it's just on another level. The build up of the first minute or so and then that moment when the guitar comes in - simply the best piece of music I've ever heard. And the bridge at the end is the cherry on top. 100/100, possibly my favourite song ever. I get goosebumps every time.

Arguably, the best song in the entire U2 repertoire. Bono's vocal delivery here sends shivers up and down my spine.

Probably U2's greatest song and along with, the fly, my favourite. It's a stunning track. Atmospheric and powerful without being bombastic. U2 will never top, or for that matter, come anywhere near this again. Perfect song.
