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 92.5/100, a mean average of 90.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 92.7/100. The standard deviation for this track is 16.3.

This song is very pretty. The vocals are still a bit grating, but I can excuse it when the lyrics are so well written. I'm also not really big on the wind-like noises going on in the background, but what can you do? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Simply one of the greatest songs in recorded history and the lyrics are some of the most densely metaphorical and beautiful in recent memory.

The best part of this song is the singing saws in the background: it almost sounds like the wind is trying to sing along.

What does it mean to be in the aeroplane over the sea? A haunting question indeed...
