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 4% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 81.4/100, a mean average of 81.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 81.6/100. The standard deviation for this track is 10.1.

Stevie did not write this song for it to only accumulate 80/100. Stop that. This is one of the best instrumentals of all time.

Probably my favorite instrumental ever. The groove on this track and the way it just goes all over the place is mindblowing.

Kinda like an instrumental by Kansas, with the weird effects and violin.
