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 8% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 79.2/100, a mean average of 77.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.5/100. The standard deviation for this track is 14.1.

Possibly my favorite from the album..
Gives off such a chilling vibe. Great album altogether, and great way to end it off. The vinyl version I own has a bonus track after it called 'Frontier City' which is good too, but I think the album would have been better if it somehow still ended with 'Cold Dessert'.
FANTASTIC track to end on!
