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 3% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 82.9/100, a mean average of 83.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 83.6/100. The standard deviation for this track is 28.0.

@makerofbuckets view the list with the Include Compilations set to No, that will give you a better picture.
this song is amazing but lets all rate it down because it's from a compilation.

Why would anyone rate a track from a compilation? I mean, if it were any different from the original I understand, but this is the same and makes no sense to have it rated more than once.

One of the best songs ever? Sure. But on the best tracks list it's number 2 and number 16, which makes no sense.

sorry to rate this so low, but this is from a compilation album, and it's really annoying that this is the highest rated track of the 2000's

It's not from the actual album, and it's intruding with their top songs on their page's list. So I'm trying to get it downvoted. Just rate the one from the album, not this "best of" collection.
