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 86.2/100, a mean average of 85.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 86.5/100. The standard deviation for this track is 12.4.

Loosely about an iconic river in The Middle East The River Euphrates and The Middle East in general

Best lyric:

"Stuck here out of gas , out here on the Gazza Strip from driving too fast "

Greatest pixies chorus high energy nonsensical surrealistic imagery and phebomenal utilization of Kim deal's and Black France's extraterrestrial harmonies

my all time favourite pixies song. The intro got me hooked right away, but the chorus is the apex of this masterpiece, absolute high spirit explosion

some chronic and repetitive sounds are the unique reason why this song don´t means 100

A bit annoying, but catchy in that sense.
