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 84.9/100, a mean average of 83.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 85.6/100. The standard deviation for this track is 15.6.

"I'm counting sheep but running out"
This line is so relatable.

Not a very original song, considering it's like the third time an artist uses those those 5 chords in that same order and rhythm. (Like Led Zeppelin's "Baby I'm Gonna Leave You" and Chicago's "25 or 6 to 4"). Nevertheless, I always enjoy the **** out of it. It's more headbangable than the other two (not necessarily better), and sometimes there's beauty in the simplicity of a song. This is one of those cases.
Still one of the darkest and most unique songs in their catalogue, and one of my favourites.
One of the best songs on this album!

Pretty unemotional performance. Overly simple song. They still make the most of it, but it's just not a lot to work with.

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
