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 1% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 88.6/100, a mean average of 89.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 89.7/100. The standard deviation for this track is 10.4.

The drama, the tension, the riffs, the energy, the breakdown in the middle...soundtracks whatever you're doing whilst you've got it on and turns you in to the coolest person alive. What more could you want?

Some might call this heart of glass pt 2, but it has a couple of features that make it gold

An Ennio Morricone riff + plus Debbie Harry singing "your hair is beautiful" = Classic
