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 92.3/100, a mean average of 91.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 92.5/100. The standard deviation for this track is 11.1.

I think it's my favourite song from them.
11/10. That "Yeah" at the end has to be one of the greatest things ever recorded in rock music. However it get's even better for their 1978 Live at Shepperton Studios version.
This is what The Who are at their finest.
Minisinfonía rock de 8 minutos y medio. Un clásico de los Who.
It has to be their best song.

Epic! An amazing song in every way and a perfect closer--the perfect bookend to Baba O'Reily
