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 1% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 87.6/100, a mean average of 86.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 87.8/100. The standard deviation for this track is 14.9.

Great harmonies to start this track, a great use of strings throughout and tremendous orchestration. Mesmerising track
With this being a much slower / lusher tempo than some other tracks on this album I think that this is one of the best compositions on the album.
My biggest problem with this track is that it finishes far too soon. It feels like there is far more to come from the track and that it is just getting going and then it fades out which I find very frustrating. I want more please Brian!
Having said that, what we get is a beautiful thing (Edited)

Absolutely beautiful. One of the very best on the album (Edited)
Nice track, but not my favorite! That's not to say it's not a great piece of music :)
