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 88.7/100, a mean average of 87.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 88.9/100. The standard deviation for this track is 14.4.

As an R.E.M. fan, I absolutely abominate this keloid of a song. Don't get me wrong; I'm all for compassion and accompaniment in times of trouble, but not with a profoundly lame rewrite of "Bridge over Troubled Water" with horrendous-singing-era Michael Stipe braying cliches at me. At least as big of an embarrassment as "Radio Song," but far more folks acknowledge it with the latter than the former.
The greatest anti-suicide song ever written

Although I always think of Dwight Schrute now when I hear this song it's still so exceptional. The sweeping strings, Michael's delicate and impressive vocal range - a classic.

Impressive, I can always listen to this.
Great song but not exceptional. Haunting, emotional simple lyrics delivered with silky sombre vocals supported by nice acoustic guitar and keyboards/organ(?) and drum machine(?). Enhanced with yet another strings arrangement half way through. I have no problem with introducing strings at this point but for me it's a wee bit too sugary bearing in mind the subject matter. A minor criticism hence my score.

This song saved many lives so i give it 100 points.
Best R.E.M. song ever.

Incrivelmente bela!
This is one of the few songs that I can listen to a million times and still impress me. Michael Stipe's lyrics are awesome, comforting also. Because everybody hurts...sometimes.. so hold on!

This is actually my least favourite song in the album. It's a great song, but doesn't really fit in with the flow of the album very well. It has a very different tone from just about every other R.E.M. song.
