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 86.4/100, a mean average of 86.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 86.9/100. The standard deviation for this track is 12.4.

Heralded the 80s.

A legendary start to the Van Halen debut. Showcases a lot of what made Van Halen unique, Roth's screams, Eddie's guitar work, tasteful drumming, and awesome backing vocals.
One of their best songs
I didn't really feel anything listening to this song.

One of Van Halen's best songs! The bass intro is instantly recognizable and there are two really great guitar riffs on this one. Not surprising since Eddie is a guitar god!
