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 89.9/100, a mean average of 90.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 90.5/100. The standard deviation for this track is 9.8.

How can you describe this song it is great. It is like a story of life that Cat Stevens is telling us and in the end you have to go. With Stairway to Heaven one of the best songs of the 70s (Edited)

"I'm mary poppins y'all" seriously one of the songs of my youth..was beautiful then and just as emotional now..so powerful. too bad he went nuts in 1976. he wrote so many good songs. (Edited)
Amazing song (Edited)
