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 2% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 84.7/100, a mean average of 85.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 86.1/100. The standard deviation for this track is 11.7.

Totally creepy and very cool. I wish Vincent Price were in this track, too.

Draws heavily from the previous track. The part that includes voices of children singing along with Alice put me in one of the coolest trances ever.
The end features a happier keyboard section that then goes back into the creepy mood of the song.
