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 2% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 84.0/100, a mean average of 82.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 84.6/100. The standard deviation for this track is 15.9.

Probably the best song on Hysteria to dance too. Great dance-rock/hard rock song. Chorus is infectious.

This may sound weird, but in a full moon night, I just love to stand on top of my house with my headphones, light the light shine on me, and play this song a couple times. I admit it's a very dorky thing for me to do, but I love both the full moon and this song.
