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 2% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 84.0/100, a mean average of 83.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 84.3/100. The standard deviation for this track is 13.1.

Considering how much of the record has a cheery tone dispute wistful, longing, or questioning lyrics, this one's dark sound and dreary imagery really make it stand out as the most uniquely depressing tune on the record. It's solid musically though perhaps not as fully fleshed-out as other tracks, and I'm not sure I like that abrupt ending, especially to close out the album... but a strong finisher nonetheless.

The perfect way to end this album, hauntingly beautiful

sound of dying

A desolate, jealous, sorrowful, discordant closing track.
