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 2% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 83.6/100, a mean average of 82.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 83.9/100. The standard deviation for this track is 15.0.

The Kraftwerk sample I think works well on this track
THIS is the best Coldplay song ever recorded. It's simply a fact.
It unfortunate that bassist Guy Berryman doesn't like this song, and that the band never plays it live anymore.
Good space feeling song. THIS is what the album should have sounded like. This and X & Y are a good sound direction for an album.
