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 90.9/100, a mean average of 89.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 91.3/100. The standard deviation for this track is 13.0.

No, it's not the best Modest Mouse song... but it's close. Indie pop/rock perfection. Gets a ton of unfair hate from big MM fans because it is a bit different than their usual sound
Modest Mouse putting out something more accessible, but somehow kept themselves in the process. You look at an album like Lonesome and wonder how this amazing optimistic song could come from the same guy, who also sung songs like Baby Blue Sedan.
Saying Float On is the best Modest Mouse song is kinda like saying I Want To Hold Your Hand is the best Beatles track. It's good, maybe even great, and it introduced tons of people to the band, but when you explore the band's other material there's simply better material.
I heard of Modest Mouse thanks to this song too. Still my favorite from them
One of my (if not the) best songs ever written.
Thank God for this song. Without Float On, I don't think I'd have ever heard Modest Mouse.
