Rating metrics: Help 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 88.1/100, a mean average of 87.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 89.3/100. The standard deviation for this track is 12.2.

Beautiful. I work at a school where we do a lot of sing along songs at daily gatherings and we sing it a lot. The context makes the song even more tragic, but it is a great song even without knowing the context.

I nearly started crying when he started singing. Clapton is very underrated as a blues singer. SO much emotion in his voice.

I understand the context, but it's just not a truly great song.
