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 90.2/100, a mean average of 89.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 90.6/100. The standard deviation for this track is 12.7.

One of the greatest songs of the Decade on one of the best records of the Decade...
In my top10 of SOTD, so far.

Pachelbel's Canon anyone?

As much as I love this song I'm surprised to see it get so much attention, because it doesn't strike me as the obvious single or anything. However, I am very glad to see that it's more beloved than I thought.
@SuedeSwede Didn't you mean to SOTD?
Good song, but I can't fathom at all how it's the highest rated of the album, there are many better here
One of the bests songs ever.
