Rating metrics: Help 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 91.6/100, a mean average of 90.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 91.9/100. The standard deviation for this track is 14.7.

Some of pop music’s most excellent writing, arranging, and performing.

Another way to tell what a tremendous song this is is how well it works in other artist’s interpretations of it.

The best Michael Jackson song along with Black & White this song will be played 50 years from now as an example of an artist at his peak.

One of three songs above decent on this album. The beat, again, is completely solid. But what makes this song so much better is how I'm not laughing or being sick whilst listening to the lyrics, and it actually successfully progresses on that one bassline without fucking anything up. Yeah this is pretty cool.
