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 81.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 81.4/100. The standard deviation for this track is 11.4.

Feels like a beautiful dreamy waltz that gets completely smothered in the dark hopeless overall sound of the album. Wonderful track.

The National meets "Earth Angel."
"I'm gonna keep you in love with me/For a while."
Motherfuckin' swoon.

One of my favorites from the album.
A subdued swinger that revels in its simplicity, instead of rising to a simmering peak it ebbs and flows beautifully. The outro is has far more going on but echoes the low key, melancholy vibe so beautifully.
