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 5% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 81.0/100, a mean average of 80.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 81.3/100. The standard deviation for this track is 14.8.

This song makes me want to cry and I don’t know why. Still a excellent song and definitely one of the best songs on the album.

What a great track. The lyrics are just beautiful, especially with the whole grand sound of this song, and a classic Gilmour solo too.

Another great hommage to Barrett. Really good song (but bad album)
