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 2% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 84.6/100, a mean average of 83.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 84.8/100. The standard deviation for this track is 14.4.

One of my favorite songs off of this one. Possibly their last experimental track?
At first I found this experiment intriguing. Three or four listens later, I'm just annoyed by it.
