Average Rating = (n ÷ (n + m)) × av + (m ÷ (n + m)) × AVwhere:

n = number of ratings an item has currently received.
m = minimum number of ratings required for an item to appear in a 'top-rated' chart (currently 10).
AV = the site mean average rating.

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 87.2/100, a mean average of 87.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 87.4/100. The standard deviation for this track is 9.8.

Um resumo de quem é o Led Zeppelin! Fantástica!
This song represents everything great about Zeppelin 1, raw hard rock perfection.
Punk rock starter

Great rough hard-rock song. You just feel the power behind it.

Zeppelin's fastest and heaviest song. Some of that early heavy metal ;)
No better way to start one the best bands in history.
