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 85.5/100, a mean average of 85.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 86.2/100. The standard deviation for this track is 13.4.

I love how the word mitosis pops up at the exact halfway mark of the song.
That bass is nasty af
The guitar solo at the end is killer and a beautiful way to close this beautiful song. Instant classic for me.

As a big fan I can say it's a real grower. The vocals are certainly the worst part of the song, not because they're bad or anything, but because Maynard 10 years ago would've taken the song on the next level vocally.
Danny Carey is carrying the band on his shoulders on this song. Really cool stuff from a band many thought would never release new material.
