Rating metrics: Help 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 89.6/100, a mean average of 89.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 90.0/100. The standard deviation for this track is 12.6.

This tracks combines the title track and the first track of side two (Right On). Sweet, soft beat combined with MG's multi-layered vocals that works so well.

Gotta love the album's structure. Fantastic openings and fantastic endings. I love "What's Going On?"
