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 90.6/100, a mean average of 90.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 90.9/100. The standard deviation for this track is 11.3.

This sounds very similar to "Steamboat" by the Beach Boys
Every so often, you'll hear a song that'll make you say, "THIS is why I listen to music." For me, this is one of those songs. That piano solo is just... wow! (Edited)

This song will outlive the album. (Edited)
This song perfectly sets the tone for the rest of the album. Pleasantly twisted. (Edited)
So soft and fun with great drumming and good production. (Edited)
