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)

Just a decent, average track up until around 3/4 into the song. Then, it's one of my favorite MCR songs ever. The outro is honestly amazing, how all the instruments fade out and the vocals keep going.
Fantastic End to the album
Arguably the best song they ever wrote. Perfect from start to finish!
Actually the best song this album has to offer, but that doesn't mean it's bad.
The rest of the songs doesn't easily compare to this one, even Welcome To The Black Parade
One of their best
