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 89.7/100, a mean average of 88.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 89.9/100. The standard deviation for this track is 12.2.

Certainly among their top songs that takes a while to appreciate it's majesty. Love the driving guitars and panning jittery effects.
Continues the great start to the album and love the way it bounces along. Shame the rest of the album, though very good in places, doesn't quite live up to the expectation set by the first two tracks.
This song has slowly turned into my favourite song by Arcade Fire. Just a great song!

Not a bad track by any means, but it almost feels like it is building tension towards an energetic outbreak at the end that it never reaches. Maybe it's just me
One of their best songs
awesome song

Another great song by Arcade Fire
This album might compare to Funeral.
