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 91.7/100, a mean average of 90.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 92.0/100. The standard deviation for this track is 13.8.

What a beautiful song! It does remind me of paranoid android in the guitar but you can see that this song is so much more!

Sort of like a folk paranoid android.

One of the best songs of 2015, that second half is filled with such beautiful melodies.

the keyboard in the second half gives me flashbacks to Jim Wise, and also I think this might be my favorite song by Sufjan
