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 85.5/100, a mean average of 85.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 86.0/100. The standard deviation for this track is 11.1.

Man, I needed a song like this. The chorus really spoke to me "If there were no rewards to reap, no loving embrace to see me through, this tedious path I've chosen here, I certainly would have walked away by now" that hits hard for me

Unique vocalization from MJK, the last chorus has so many layers of vocals, guitars, etc and is one of the highlights of the record.
