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 90.6/100, a mean average of 90.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 91.1/100. The standard deviation for this track is 10.0.

as much as I like this, I like the Byrds version even better. It was on their only recording for Asylum in 1973...not a great album, but this is the one highlight. Actually I heard the Byrds version first in 1973 then the Neil Young version in 1974.
