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 2% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 85.6/100, a mean average of 86.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 86.2/100. The standard deviation for this track is 9.6.

So, how do you fight loneliness?
"...
Smile all the time,
Shine you teeth till meaningless...
...
You laugh at every joke,
Drag your blanket blindly
And fill your heart with smoke
And the first thing that you want-Will be the last thing you ever need.
...
Just smile all the time
Just smile all the time
Just smile all the time
Just smile all the time"
With lyrics like these and the music that accompanies them, who needs a shrink anyway? :)
I love this song, 10/10.
