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 86.5/100, a mean average of 85.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 86.6/100. The standard deviation for this track is 12.0.

It's alright you know. It's definitely grown on me.
Some of the best lyrics I've ever heard , and without sounding novelty. It has made me laugh out loud on more than one occasion which would never happen listening to less 'miserable' bands like Coldplay for example. Anyway, this song is truly a masterpiece!
Really cool track :)

Few arrangements of words have been so devastatingly witty, few compositions of music so upbeat and alive.
Frankly, this song is awesome. My favorite after There is a Light
funky
This song makes me smile.
