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 84.0/100, a mean average of 86.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 86.7/100. The standard deviation for this track is 10.7.

The Dirty South is Drive-By Truckers' best album, and "Goddamn Lonely Love" is the best song from that album. That's saying something, and songwriting credit here goes to Jason Isbell, who was only in the band for a few years, but long enough to have contributed several of their greatest songs. This whiskey-drenched ballad is one of the most gut-wrenching things I've ever heard.

Jason Isbell is a great songwriter. This and his other contributions to the Truckers are excellent. "I'll take anything you got to kill this goddamn lonely, goddamn lonely love...."
