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 2% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 85.3/100, a mean average of 84.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 85.7/100. The standard deviation for this track is 12.1.

I was working as an intern at a local radio station, rifling through the new releases sent to the station by record labels when I came across "I Will Follow". The title couldn't have been more relevant for me, as I have followed U2's career up the ladder of superstardom ever since. The sound was new, the expressiveness of the music and the singer, the anthemic quality of the song all indicated there were awesome things ahead for this band.
Easily my favorite U2 song (although I'm not a big fan)
Awesome song. The first great success
