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 11% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 78.8/100, a mean average of 78.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.8/100. The standard deviation for this track is 13.0.

If this song was fleshed out and the narrative more fully explored, it could have been a standout.
Honestly, I think this is one of the most emotionally impactful songs on the album, and that's saying something.

I think I'm probably the only person in the world who rates this song as the best from the album. Nostalgia levels on this one are off the charts.
It's a real grower on its own with a great sense of place, but when played alongside Sprawl II its just so worth it

I actually quite like this song, not sure why it gets so much hate.
It seems kind of silly to rate this song to me since it really just is a very brief lyrical introduction to "Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains)" which is objectively an AMAZING song. I don't know if I can even rate it like a single song without remembering what it's purpose is. As one song, no I'm not going to want to just put "Sprawl I (Flatland)" on replay and listen to it all day, but it fits perfectly on the album.
