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 91.3/100, a mean average of 89.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 91.5/100. The standard deviation for this track is 14.2.

And dad would dream of all the different ways to die
Each one a little more than he could dare to try
This line is sucker punch in the gut, incredibly well done song about a crumbling, abusive marriage and the oblivious kids learning about other people and their emotions. (Edited)
This song perfectly encapsulates the rest of the album. Good guitar work, decent song writing, interesting lyrics. The vocals are fine and then suddenly murder your ears with shrill whining that completely ruins the whole song. I have far less tolerance for trash vocal performances than most people here I guess.

brilliant track, opens the album perfectly, definitely a lot better paired with parts 2 and 3 tho
Pretty great track. I love the simplicity of it: just a guitar and a singer. It's simple but not dull.

From the opening guitar bars I fell in love with this album right there and then the very first time I heard it . Special special opening track
