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 has a Bayesian average rating of 76.7/100, a mean average of 76.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.7/100. The standard deviation for this track is 12.7.

The bells in the beginning reminded me of 'Hells Bells' by ACDC.

More lovely melodies here with this song. A softer relative to Side Ones' 'Citadel' perhaps, as once again we are in that strange dreamlike world. Tuneful and lovely.
A decent song but it's one of those tracks that is instantly forgettable after it's stopped playing. It's nothing bad, not at all, it's just that it's not very memorable. In fact I'm having trouble now trying to remember it.
