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 86.0/100, a mean average of 85.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 86.3/100. The standard deviation for this track is 10.6.

What a way to end the album. I consider this his best song.
Ive never had my father leave me but after hearing this song ifeel strong empathy towards those children.
Hypnotic in both its lyrics as well as its musicality, "Dream Brother" is a song that earned its spot as the closer for "Grace." It brings out much of Jeff Buckley's unsung talents to the front: biting vocal tone, absorbing song structure, and complex musicality. Yes, his shimming, loft vocals make an appearance, but "Dream Brother" paints a very different style for Buckley than "Last Goodbye", "Hallelujah", and "Everybody Here Wants You".
