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 91.5/100, a mean average of 91.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 92.1/100. The standard deviation for this track is 10.1.

A gorgeous song, beautifully put together.
This is a superb song and shows what can be delivered with orchestration on a pop tune - the bass and drums as we go into the first instrumental combine wonderfully with the flute and then get lifted by the strings coming in. I also think the backing vocals just help lift the haunting aspect of it all. Wonderful. Wonderful.
What can I say that hasn't already been said? An all-time classic. Perfect melody, perfect lyrics, perfect vocals. One of the most gorgeous songs ever written.

One of the greatest love songs ever written
This fantastic piece is the best possible epilogue for an album that is a milestone in the 20th century music.

Absolutely unbelievable song, especially coming from a songwriter so young. Incredible vocal delivery by Justin Hayward as well. Sometimes I could swear the man has a third lung!

Un clasico

A boderline-perfect love song
