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 84.0/100, a mean average of 85.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 85.2/100. The standard deviation for this track is 12.8.

Probably Nico's most personal song...she was alone and her art not taken seriously (if not by very few) cause she was beautiful..and she could never be more than that. But she kept fighting to show her artistry and musical integrity

Beautiful, isn't it?
