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)

I agree with Brad's comment (not with his rating). Like with Hatesong, it could fit into post 2000's Porcupine Tree, alternating atmospheric rock and progressive metal. I also like how it connects with the bright song of the end.
Best track on album, long at 13 minutes but really good
