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 86.5/100, a mean average of 86.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 86.8/100. The standard deviation for this track is 10.5.

I love the first lines of this song.
"I accidentally touched my head
And noticed that it had been bleeding
For how long I did not know
What was this, I thought, that struck me?
What kind of weapons have they got?
The softest bullet ever shot"
When that guitar melody chimes in around the 4-minute mark and the drum and bass kick... Lawd have mercy what is this magic
gosh this is incredible - though yano, so is everything this band created 1992-2009
Very enjoyable song
another great song
Life changing song. Means so much to me.
