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 83.8/100, a mean average of 84.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 84.2/100. The standard deviation for this track is 10.2.

Absolutely one of the most underrated songs in Stevie’s whole catalog. These melodies are sky bound and full of stars and moon. He practically reaches the heavens by the end of his ascension through the different keys.

I love this song, the vocal performance, and the instrumental layering, especially the relationship between piano and synths.

Very lovely soft vocals and the way Stevie links the changing of the seasons of the year with someone leaving is beautifull.

Not the best, but I wouldn't remove this song from the track list if I could.
