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 88.1/100, a mean average of 87.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 88.2/100. The standard deviation for this track is 11.1.

Nice song I thought it was a bit to slow when I started listening to Bowie but now I love it!
I always liked this song but found it a bit tame. But over the years it has grown more and more on me and I upgraded it's score.
I comes alive in the chorus although the verse vocal delivery is a bit mono-tone

Perhaps Bowie's most touching love song. It's absolutely wonderful. And boy are those saxophones underappreciated.
A really nice track :)

Extremely underrated! One of his very best!
Smooth and sweet followed by heavy and awesome! Great combinations!

Such an epic way to introduce the guitar! Definitely didn't see that coming.
