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 4% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 81.3/100, a mean average of 81.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 81.8/100. The standard deviation for this track is 10.5.

The lyrics are pretty good, and the rhythm isn't bad at all. The ending and the beginning are great.

Interesting intro. I really wish I knew how they came up with it. It's a very emotional song that serves as the perfect conclusion for this masterpiece of an album.
