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 84.8/100, a mean average of 86.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 87.6/100. The standard deviation for this track is 9.5.

Obvious influence on Mercury Rev's "Chasing a Bee". They did so much borrowing from each other it's funny.

By far the best Flaming Lips track, and one of the best ever. The little guitar noises here and there are the most awesome thing on Earth. And dear God, the drums explosions for the chorus....

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 :(
