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 83.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 85.0/100. The standard deviation for this track is 14.9.

It wakes up after a couple of minutes, what a few of the other tracks should have done. The best on the album.
Slow and powerful. Probably the best song they ever recorded.
The outro of this is the greatest Coldplay moment without question and this is without a doubt the best Coldplay track in their discography.
If you like music, listen to this song. But don't just listen to it. Feel it. Drink it. Let its overwhelming power envelop and absorb you. This is what music is.
A solid slow-burning track
Such a well-written song
awesome haunting song
