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 90.8/100, a mean average of 89.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 91.0/100. The standard deviation for this track is 12.6.

dope track very accessible still powerful and those chords are amazings

Solid track. I love the string arrangement and skeletal beat. It's a total red herring when it comes to the rest of the album (which is far more romantic and melancholic as well as far less political) but still a good way to kick things off.

Love the strings and the airbag throwback bassline.

What's so interesting about this song is that even though it's effectively quite straightforward as a track; three minutes long, verse chorus verse, it's still nothing like anything I've ever heard before.
Great tune, totally love it! Not heard anything like it before from a band of recent years.
Elegante y sutil mezcla.

Yeah the music is awesome, but the music video is even better! It seems so friendly and happy but in reality it's so unexpectedly dark! I can't get enough of it.
