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)

Far and away the finest song on the album...
There is something with the piano loop that annoys me, although it isn't inherently bad. Don't get me wrong with disliking the track, but for some reason this doesn't resonate with me as the other tracks. Still find it jaw-dropping though, just like everything else here!
Stunning
The sound in this song combined with the vocals is terribly beautiful
And Gimli said, "I shall call nothing fair, unless it be thissong to me."
What more could one want in a song? Excellently written, beautifully resonant melodies, and even an amazing vocal performance from Jonsi. By all accounts one of, if not the best song from Sigur Ros' monolithic catalog.
Possibly the most euphoric song on the planet.
Absolutely beautiful. Nothing much more to say.
