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 84.6/100, a mean average of 85.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 85.5/100. The standard deviation for this track is 9.9.

What a fuckin great song. Steven sounds quite different from the Porcupine Tree stuff here and elsewhere on this album. Classic.rock.
This is a steller pop track! It showcases SW's abilty to create different type of music. It expresses the desire of the main character that she just wanted to be left alone. It's something we can all relate too, I'm sure we all feel that sometimes.... someday we just want to be left alone...

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
