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 91.6/100, a mean average of 90.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 91.9/100. The standard deviation for this track is 14.4.

I like this song it gives you a feeling like jumping in the air and haul with the song. Very interesting Shoegazing. (Edited)
One of the best songs i've ever listened. I can feel pure love while listening it. (Edited)
This and Only Shallow are the best tracks in the record. (Edited)
I'd put it up there with "God Only Knows" and "Something" for best love song ever. (Edited)

Oh wow, I can almost understand the lyrics on this one. I don't think this is the best on the album as it's rating indicates but it's certainly pretty close to Only Shallow and Soon in my opinion. (Edited)
