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 87.7/100, a mean average of 87.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 88.2/100. The standard deviation for this track is 12.6.

I love the way it fades into infinity after a tour de force-like solo, fantastic song (Edited)

I agree with Xxnu99etxX that the beginning sounds a lot like Rebellion, but then the last four minutes are different Those last couple minutes have some of the most beautiful music I've ever heard. The chord progression and the way the guitar scale coincides with the chords and how it's just the same progression over and over again with guitars adding different things on top of it. So cool.

This song's instrumentals kind of reminds me of Arcade Fire - Rebellion (Lies). Brilliant songs, the both of them.
