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 3% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 82.8/100, a mean average of 82.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 83.5/100. The standard deviation for this track is 17.5.

Like a glass of Pernod, Summer Of 69 is best enjoyed on its own and very, very, very occasionally.

About as good as Bryan Adams ever got. Nifty little rocker. Everyone seems to love the "Got my first real six string" line.
