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 86.3/100, a mean average of 85.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 86.9/100. The standard deviation for this track is 11.5.

Come on and get with it!!
Not only are the drum samples killer, that Orion guitar sample was so wonderfully used throughout the whole song

Catchy intro with the samples, but then the guitars (which I guess are also samples) just hook you right in.

the breakdown thing is one of the most brilliant things I've heard
