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 15% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 78.5/100, a mean average of 77.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.6/100. The standard deviation for this track is 15.7.

I really love the instrumental on this song, but the lyrics are god-awful. It's trying so hard to come off as deep, but it feels like they're just trying to pander to people with mental health issues, and that's coming from a person who's attempted suicide in the past. It's so in your face about it ("Some girls cut themselves, stand in the mirror and wait for the feedback"), there's no subtley, it's almost offensive the way they're just using these super serious topics as a way of getting brownie points. Suicide, depression, self-harm, and anorexia are serious topics that should be handled with dignity and respect, and they completely failed to do that.

The lyrics aren't phenomenal, but the instrumentation is good and it tells a relatable story in a simple manner. Sometimes, simple is good.

I really like the main bass riff, which is loud and catchy. The vocals are just loud, with pretty awful lyrics that don't rhyme and are not catchy in any conceivable way. It was an exciting listen, until "resenting their FATHERS!" And there´s also the "put on our FIRST RECORD!" I can't tell if Win is singing or just pointing shit out sometimes.

Cool sound, but the lyrics are distractingly bad, with the suicide story being borderline offensive.

"Assisted suicide
She dreams about dying all the time
She told me she came so close
Filled up the bathtub and put on our first record"

No Win, you've got it mixed up - it's THIS record that makes me want to kill myself

I really love(d) Arcade Fire, but 2 latest singles (Everything Now and this Creature Comfort) are too commercial and too catchy for my taste.
It seems like their are becoming too "pop".
