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 91.3/100, a mean average of 91.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 91.9/100. The standard deviation for this track is 9.8.

Enormous, foreboding, insanely cool, insanely of its time. Nothing else has quite managed to achieve the kind of melancholy found on this, and the band take it to its total extent within two and a half minutes. Truly one of the greatest songs ever written.
Simply a huge track, it makes the whole album worth it.

The genius of John Phillips in one song: impeccable cvocals, the best arrangement, the perfect song for its time.
