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 89.8/100, a mean average of 89.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 90.2/100. The standard deviation for this track is 10.4.

So pleasantly catchy.
I Wish is intrinsically Stevie Wonder with an inspired and inspiring drum track and horn arrangement.
I will NEVER forget the response this song got when I saw him perform Songs In The Key of Life live. Sir Duke had people feeling it all over, I Wish had them moving uncontrollably.
Funktastic! Probably my favorite Stevie song!

Together with 'Isn't she lovely', the greatest song on the album. If your not already dancing this track will make you sure you do. Also the feeling of nostalgia is illustrated in a perfect a way by Stevie.
