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 3% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 82.6/100, a mean average of 85.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 85.4/100. The standard deviation for this track is 11.9.

If this song had "The Beatles" or "Radiohead" written across the label, it would have a 90 on this website, easy. The best song The Doobie Brothers ever did by a mile, and a contender for the greatest forgotten rock song of all time. Six and a half minutes of ominous perfection.
Excellent, haunting song. My favorite on the album.
