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 2% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 85.3/100, a mean average of 84.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 85.5/100. The standard deviation for this track is 13.6.

I think everyone want to hide on the backstreets once and a while. Great song to escape in. I love the guitar solo very much too.

Bruce really pushes himself vocally here.

A great comedown track from the blistering Night. Just as beautiful lyrically.
Great piano. It's getting back to that Meat Loaf style.

Powerhouse of a song. (Edited)
