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 90.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 91.9/100. The standard deviation for this track is 12.8.

Wesley’s Theory is such a jaw-dropper of an opener. The song is structured perfectly even through how strange a structure it is.

The instrumentation is simply wild and infectious. Some of the notes and production choices bring out this tremendous uneasy dissonance echoing Kendrick’s cautionary tale.

The production is out of this world. The bass, the funkyness, The sample at the start, and the small Dre interlude midway. Amazing song, and opens up the greatest album of all time

The production on this track is impeccable. Also that funky bass line is wonderful, those delicious synths. The double meaning of the lyrics. "Grab it all, you deserve it Kendrick"

Such an awesome way to open an album. The intro slowly fades in, and then before you know it the mood changes swiftly and before you know it you're lost in a trance of masterful lyricism and jazz everywhere. Then it climaxes with Look Both Waaays before you CROOOOSSSS MY MIND! and it is perfect.
