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 86.1/100, a mean average of 85.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 86.3/100. The standard deviation for this track is 11.7.

Tough song to love for me but sits well in the album
One of the most underrated and overlooked tracks in the whole of the Rolling Stones career. It's a stunning creation, beautiful and gritty and one of the best songs on a brilliant album. Just about perfect.
I'm glad to here something a little different.
