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 91.8/100, a mean average of 90.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 92.0/100. The standard deviation for this track is 12.6.

I thought the song was creepy; maybe it was the key it was in: minor. I loved the guitar rift and how the intro and end sound like a train departing and arriving. I could imagine this being in a movie about a poor musician living near a train station that uses the noise of the train to plan out how his music will sound.

One of the best of the album. I love the bass line so much, and even though it's just a couple words repeated over and over, there's so much passion in his voice. It's such a feel-good song.

Yep, I kept hearing "I wanna be a door" for a while too. It was confusing.
One of their best songs
KILLER BASS RIFF! This track kicks this album off perfectly
