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 91.9/100, a mean average of 90.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 92.2/100. The standard deviation for this track is 15.2.

This is so damn beautiful. Everything from the vocals to the instruments sounds so heavenly and utterly transcendental.

That sheer noise that kicks in at 1:22 just brings the already gorgeous song to a new level

I can't describe how amases I am and how beautiful this song is
I think there's a few too many "tju's," but the song has excellent production and composition.
Beautiful, lonely, everything about this song is beautiful
