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 6% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 80.5/100, a mean average of 80.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 80.7/100. The standard deviation for this track is 10.8.

Bob Dylan's satire in a near future world-after-war. I find it fun and cozzy. I prefer it as poetry than as a song, though.

"Half of the people can be part right all of the time
Some of the people can be all right part of the time
But all of the people can’t be all right all of the time
I think Abraham Lincoln said that"
I'm not sure, but I'd guess Lincoln never said that. Dylan can be funnier than he gets credit for! That line always makes me laugh
