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 86.8/100, a mean average of 86.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 87.1/100. The standard deviation for this track is 11.9.

Standard but fun alt-pop song, no complaints here.

Slightly overrated but still good

With that amazing riff I'd have preferred better lyrics but the song is still amazing!
Very nice song, a highlight of the album
I think these lyrics confuse everyone first time around. Great track though. Very high energy, as seen in the drums and the zipping of the synths.
