Rating metrics: Help 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 86.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 87.9/100. The standard deviation for this track is 13.2.

I like this track but it didn't stand out to me. I feel like a few people started rating it 100 and then everyone assumed it was somehow better than the surrounding tracks.

Really catchy, although the 'Hey Orpheus' part is better than the 'It seems so important now' part. I freaking love the way they sing "Just wait until it's over, wait until it's through."

I keep on coming back to this masterpiece, so much so that I don't want it to be OVER.
