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 91.4/100, a mean average of 89.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 91.6/100. The standard deviation for this track is 15.2.

this song blew me away the first time i heard it, absolutely amazing! its my 2nd favourite on the album now (2nd only to two headed boy part 2)
Yikes. I'm really not a fan of this super loud and fuzzy sound of... well, everything. It makes my ears hurt. sorry ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Such a great track! Awesome energy, and some of the best lyrics ever written.

The energy gives me butterflies. This track is amazing.
Best song on the album with Ghost and In the aeroplane over the sea
One of the best songs of the album

But now we must pick up every piece
Of the life we used to love
Just to keep ourselves at least enough to carry on
I really think that this is the best song of the 90s. It really stacks up with the greatest ever. Damn the lyrics are just so strange and incredible.
Best one on the album
THEEEE ONLYYYY GIRL I'VE EVERRRRR LOOOOOOVED!!!!
Even though it took me a few listens to like, this song is undoubtedly one of the best. Beautiful lyrics pour from Jeff as if he was reciting a Bible verse, and the horns in the background still give me chills. 98/100
masterpiece
