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 86.8/100, a mean average of 86.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 87.1/100. The standard deviation for this track is 11.9.

Great song, this was 1 of 3 singles I predicted would be a hit when this record came out.

Inticing us back to the arms of love, "33" starts "speak to me in a language i can hear / humor me before i have to go". He's forgiving everyone accepting love's end yet still in denial, self-deprecating in honesty professing "tomorrow's just an excuse away". Beautiful anguish captured in this beautiful lyric "I know I'll make it, love can last forever / Graceful swans of never topple to the Earth". Another tune that can tear me up.
