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 3% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 82.2/100, a mean average of 81.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 82.4/100. The standard deviation for this track is 12.4.

A short track that clocks in at exactly 1:49 but packs a punch . The first of 4 tracks on the album coming in at under 2 minutes
The “Something “ is probably a penis as evidenced by the closing line:
“I’m one happy prick”

Pretty intro, and very good way to give it form to this incredible song
Solid
Noisy as anything. Fits in well between Break My Body and Broken Face
