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 89.9/100, a mean average of 89.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 90.7/100. The standard deviation for this track is 14.1.

These are some of the most thought-provoking lyrics I've ever heard: "Every thousand years, this metal sphere ten times the size of Jupiter floats just a few yards past the earth. You climb on your roof and take a swipe at it with a single feather, hit it once every thousand years 'til you've worn it down to the size of a pea. Yeah I'd say that's a long time, but it's only half a blink in the place you're gonna be." How do you think of that? It's so beautiful. It's such a crazy way of thinking about death and going to a place where time isn't an issue and the universal laws are different or just nonexistant and it's all so advanced that we wouldn't understand any of it. Some of the best lyrics ever written.
