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 83.9/100, a mean average of 84.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 84.4/100. The standard deviation for this track is 9.1.

Pretty much standard fayre from the Shins. A sort of Goldilocks song.
I understand why this isn't the highest rated song on the album, there are others more interesting and complex, but there's just something unexplainable about it that I love.
Amazing

Kind of has a Monkeys vibe at points...although this blows away the Monkeys.
