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 22% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 77.6/100, a mean average of 76.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.7/100. The standard deviation for this track is 16.7.

Great track, but could do without the squealing fingernails down the blackboard bit.
Roger Taylor's furious track is a frantic punk rocker and one of the heaviest songs Queen ever did. It literally leaves the listener breathless and is a kick of adrenalin as far as the album is concerned. This is Queen out to out punk the punks.
