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 82.6/100, a mean average of 81.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 82.8/100. The standard deviation for this track is 13.1.

Much Better Instrumental track than Let's go away for a while
Another nice instrumental track :)
Underrated.

It's obvious that this was just included to pad the still short runtime, but it's still a good instrumental and should be rated on the music. I prefer Let's Go Away For Awhile slightly, but I think the sounds here are a little fresher.
This comment is beneath your viewing threshold.
