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 89.9/100, a mean average of 89.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 90.6/100. The standard deviation for this track is 12.4.

The first, more laid back portion of I Know The End was already one of the album’s best moments with Phoebe leveling up AGAIN lyrically.
But then, and in a way that I’m pleasantly perplexed by, the song changes and begins its evolution. By the end, the track has grown into this absolute monstrosity of a track and I saw none of this coming at the song’s beginning.
This is a jaw-dropping, expectation shattering moment for me in Phoebe’s catalog and I hope it’s indicative of a direction she’ll be taking on her forthcoming solo material.
I’m not saying Punisher is Bridgers’ Sgt Pepper. But I feel wholeheartedly that I Know The End is her A Day In The Life.
Probably my favourite song of the 2020s so far
Best closing track of 2020 with no doubt
This has officially entered my top 3 favorite songs ever made. It's absolutely glorious and beautiful and I tear up to it almost every time I listen to it. It must be experienced by anyone who enjoys music.
A Sufjan Stevens song?
This song gives me chills...
This is without a doubt the best thing Phoebe's ever done.
The anthem of 2020. A musical apocalypse

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
