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 4% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 81.2/100, a mean average of 80.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 81.4/100. The standard deviation for this track is 12.9.

It would be an album highlight on any album ever made. On this one, it's easy to overlook amidst so many other greats.

Another great comedown with the foreboding synths of "love" about "my mistakes of cowardice". It sounds offhanded and simple, but the lyric of "love, it's who you know" is generally appropriate. The guitar licks sound synth-lick too. It's like he's saying love has an artificial quality.
