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 84.8/100, a mean average of 84.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 85.0/100. The standard deviation for this track is 10.5.

Whenever the second half starts, I break down.
"Carrie come home."
Ouch. Sometimes the plainest and most straightforward lyrics hit hardest.

"So can we pretend sweetly
Before the mystery ends?
I am a man with a heart that offends
With its lonely and greedy demands
There’s only a shadow of me; in a manner of speaking I'm dead"

This is my favorite song on the album, especially that second half, which nearly brings me to tears. *sigh* I love it.
the end is so beautiful it always gives me chills.
Breathtaking...Sufjans most intimate album to date, uncomplicated yet remarkably beautiful
