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 88.8/100, a mean average of 89.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 90.2/100. The standard deviation for this track is 12.2.

This is stunning.
Much more warmer than the 66 version.
you can't be the first, it's far better than the version on sounds of silence - that version is a disgrace to the masterpiece on here.
I'll be the first to say that I actually prefer this version to 1966's folk rock redo. The reverberating vocals backed with a lone acoustic guitar lend an appropriately solemn, almost sacred quality to the song. Furthermore, the bareness of the arrangement strongly evokes the album cover -- I imagine Simon and Garfunkel playing the song alone in an empty subway, perhaps at the hour of 3 AM.
