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 89.3/100, a mean average of 88.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 89.4/100. The standard deviation for this track is 12.0.

Concludes a flawless side one of the LP, brilliant lyrics.

Mother should I trust the government, incredible, no?, one of the most beautiful songs from this album, just excellence in everyway listened
Great lyrics
Pink is now opressed by his overly protective mother.
It's like a little kid that's not sure what to think.

One of my favorite songs on the album. The lyrics are really clear and stir so many emotions.
