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 91.6/100, 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.

Is all about that drums-bass groove. You can build literally anything on top of that and it will work.
Superb.
