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 4% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 81.7/100, a mean average of 81.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 82.0/100. The standard deviation for this track is 9.6.

It is a disappointing end to an otherwise really nice album. The song itself isn't bad it's just in the wrong place on an album that also only lasts 34 mins. To add another song of the calibre of the first 5 songs would have enhanced my overall view of the album and taken away the focus on this song as the all important finale.
A great, somber ending to the album. I can see why people would find it boring, especially given that the rest of the album has such a fun, lively energy. But the essence of this song is in the lyrics: riffing on the absurd nature of the human condition.

No, no, no, zexen, this is indeed a great ending to a great album.

I love the imagery this song creates. A subdued and beautiful end to the perfect album.
