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 87.6/100, a mean average of 86.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 87.8/100. The standard deviation for this track is 13.9.

When the horn and electric guitar come in... wow what a moment.
This song for sure drew me in the most first round listen. Great song.
First favorite of the album
A really good song! Fits in well with the album too. My least favorite on the album, though; the last half, even though it's unique, gets kind of monotonous.
dat rhytm tough
