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 7% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 79.6/100, a mean average of 78.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.9/100. The standard deviation for this track is 15.9.

Stunning and an amazing end to the album. (Edited)
Unique instrumental with more elements of prog, electronica and avant-garde than pop. Certainly a strange choice to appear on the album, but I'm glad that it did; it adds some more flavor to a sometimes-generic pop album. Rutherford has some really solid electric guitar in the final minute. Maybe a bit repetitive, but that's really no foul for such an interesting inclusion. Wouldn't call it a masterpiece, but it's definitely a good track.
Weird intro. A cool ending to a great album. The sound effects make this song kind of like a Genesis Pink Floyd song.
