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 88.8/100, a mean average of 88.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 89.2/100. The standard deviation for this track is 12.1.

Unfortunately this was their peak; first song on their first album, then only downhill from there... Granted, it is an incredible song, so simple but so captivating. I guess I just never saw the hype around the rest of them. The rest of the album is decent, I like Stars a lot.
This is an absolutely superb song - heard it featuring on Darq August track and tried to find where they got it from which led me to The xx; will defo give them some more listening time because if they are all as good as this I can add them to my short list of fav bands
