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 6% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 80.5/100, a mean average of 79.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 80.6/100. The standard deviation for this track is 12.7.

The perfect closing. After over an hour of music, the album needs time to wrap up its energy. Not only does Sufjan succeed in doing so, he ties in back to the beginning so that the album has come full circle and begs to be played again from start to finish.
Great instrumental. Takes you to another place, and a great close to a great album.

Doesn't need to be as long as it is.

Reminds me of Steve Reich's "Music for 18 Musicians"!
