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 15% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 78.2/100, a mean average of 78.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.3/100. The standard deviation for this track is 12.9.

A beautiful, ethereal instrumental that serves as a nice relaxing way to calm down the story after the climax of The Lamia. It's a little too simple and a little too repetitive over it's three-minute runtime, but you can't help but feel a slight sense of wonder inside as the heavenly chorus of vocals and the gentle synthesizers roll on. One of the best ways to do a somewhat-unnecessary-but-still-worth-listening-to bridging tune.
Repeated minimal pattern that gets a little boring after a while. Lots of different programmed mellotron melodies on top of it. Nice but not a must.

Instrumental passage following the lamias' bodies downstream. There wouldn't be vampires this pretty again until the Twilight movie series.
