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 85.3/100, a mean average of 84.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 85.6/100. The standard deviation for this track is 11.4.

One of my very favorite RHCP songs and one of my favorite Flea basslines. Listening in headphones to how he and Frusciante weave through the verse riff and harmonize for certain lines is beautiful.
From there it’s one of the great RHCP choruses full of boastful energy, same for the outro jam, one of the album’s best moments.
