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 86.8/100, a mean average of 87.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 89.2/100. The standard deviation for this track is 12.7.

From its traveling melody to the anthemic chorus to the George Harrison-esq layering on the lead guitars, this is far and away the best song on this record and perhaps indeed the best song they ever wrote.
Striking.

America's best song, by a long, long ways. Great melody, flow. good lyrics, just a touch of twang.
