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 86.1/100, a mean average of 85.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 86.8/100. The standard deviation for this track is 14.3.

A very surprising track for Swans - not only are the vocals not Gira, they aren't even Jarboe. I like to think of this song as a metaphor for the death of innocence - I can imagine this being sung in a beautiful featureless field, and the first half of the lyrics are very religious. Then when Gira joins her in singing 'send them home' and more Swans-y noise comes in, the song becomes ever so slightly darker, before all instrumentation disappears for the final line:

'Then begin again'
