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 89.8/100, a mean average of 88.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 90.1/100. The standard deviation for this track is 13.5.

Complete rip off of 'Queen Bitch' by David Bowie, and it's shitty.
Amazing guitar riff. Don't know how you can play this live for pretty much 4 minutes non stop. Despite this song being massively overplayed, I have not got bored of it at all
Fine

Mr. Brightside is getting better and better with age and, when all is said and done, will go down as one of the greatest songs of the 21st century.
A powerful song! Can't help but sing along every time this is on!

I can't really describe all the power this one has, it's special, strong, everything.
I can't listen to this song without crying. Between the extreme emotion trapped in the song and sentimental attachments, this song is too much and way too perfect.
Very nice song
Come on, who doesn't know this track. Very emotional delivery, and great production. Ages very well, especially for its genre.
