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 88.3/100, a mean average of 88.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 89.0/100. The standard deviation for this track is 11.6.

I overlooked it a bit for years but then I finished the great game Control! The intro of this song instantly hypes me up for this album. What a way to start an incredible album.
My second favorite song on the album. It's so fast paced and high intensity. It's like progressive punk. And also, I love the chorus, though I will say I think the verses are catchier
I also would like to add that breakdown is fucking disgusting. That heavy riff that kicks in around the 5 minute mark is the filthiest I ever did hear
The only reason I'm not giving this a full 100/100 is I think the chorus is kinda meh. The rest of the track is perfect.
I love how the straight-punk edge combines so well with the prog rock atmosphere, especially in the second half of the piece.
