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)

A little subdued given the subject matter, but it still works well, especially the pre-dawn sequence. It just feels like it should have had more of a climax.

Decent track, wish something else closed the album though. Cool lyrics based off of an event they witnessed, but nothing very musically interesting.
Too bad this album has to finish witha fade-out. Great song though.
