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 89.0/100, a mean average of 89.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 90.0/100. The standard deviation for this track is 11.1.

really great song, probably my fav of his.. If you look on wikipedia,(under'waltzing matilda") it has an interesting history. some say that it is an australian folk song, but others say that its origins are scottish. People just started adding their own lyrics..you can tell that Tom really loves this song by the way he sings it.

It's pretty damn hard to match the aching, pleading despair that Tom displays on this song. Very effective stuff.
