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 has a Bayesian average rating of 76.5/100, a mean average of 75.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.5/100. The standard deviation for this track is 14.9.

This "song" is the kind of thing that makes me ask, "Why?"
It's 4 minutes of droning, annoying noise, like a dentist's drill, that is eventually accompanied by some unpleasant bleats or squeaks. There aren't any lyrics. When would anyone play this? It's more like any intermission between other songs, I don't know. (Edited)
The only low point of the album. Annoying song, I usually skip it
