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 85.6/100, a mean average of 84.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 86.0/100. The standard deviation for this track is 16.1.

Ironic that there's no irony in the lyrics. Great song makes me smile?

Super catchy. Even though I've heard this song like 100 times I'll still sing along every time.
None of the events listed here are examples of irony. Alright song though.
I expected this one to be good as soon as I first heard about it. I don't know how I did that.
