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 4% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 81.2/100, a mean average of 79.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 81.3/100. The standard deviation for this track is 14.4.

Objectively the best Queen song is Somebody to Love. Subjectively, it’s Lazing On A Sunday Afternoon.

Mini operaa with a great guitar.
Freddie Mercury's bonkers yet brilliant nod back to the music hall songs of yesteryear. Similar to Bring back that Leroy Brown on Sheer heart attack, and where that had an American jazz feel to it, Lazing on a Sunday afternoon, is very English in it's delivery. Tongue in cheek vocals from Freddie and then a jolly guitar solo from Brian make this a thoroughly enjoyable minute or so. A fun song.
Fun but catchy

Short but a great transition into the next track. It is also very much in the style of Freddie Mercury which makes me very happy :)
