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 85.5/100, a mean average of 84.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 85.8/100. The standard deviation for this track is 13.0.

After such a powerful opening 2 songs it kinda fades a bit towards standard psychedelic being produced by others - still a good song but not as interesting as the intro 2

The vocals on this song are awesome! Some of the Eastern music sounds are great.
