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 90.2/100, a mean average of 91.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 91.6/100. The standard deviation for this track is 9.4.

A perfect rendering by the Queen of Soul of one of the most perfect love songs ever composed.

Nothing even comes close. Spellbinding, utterly entrancing, one of the most moving choruses in recorded music history, and fuck me doesn't Franklin's voice give you goosebumps on that bridge.

Aretha's best song, a real classic.
