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 91.2/100, a mean average of 90.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 91.9/100. The standard deviation for this track is 15.6.

Could this be one of the greatest closing tracks of all time? The last section really notches it up to another level for me
I don't usually cry to music, but I teared up at the end of this song. The line "Your generous loan to me, your crippling interest" really hit me for some reason.
It's so fitting that the final track of the final album with Isaac would be a fan favorite track that's been in their live shows for years and hadn't yet been given a studio version. This honestly might be one of the greatest songs I've ever heard in my life.

This is the absolute pinnacle of British Engineering
Epic. Black Country, New Road saves the absolute best for last, just like in their previous album.
Perfection. Best song on the album.
