Average Rating = (n ÷ (n + m)) × av + (m ÷ (n + m)) × AVwhere:
av = trimmed mean average rating an item has currently received.
n = number of ratings an item has currently received.
m = minimum number of ratings required for an item to appear in a 'top-rated' chart (currently 10).
AV = the site mean average rating.

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 80.9/100, a mean average of 79.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 81.0/100. The standard deviation for this track is 13.4.

I'd give this song a much higher rating if it weren't for the last 6 minutes. I usually like long instrumental sections in songs, but in this case it just feels unnecessarily long.
this is amazing if you put this song backards playing at the same time with the original you can see they are "Symmetry" =)
One of those songs that could only work as the last song on the album. I hear a lot of Springsteen in Arcade Fire. I'll bet this was inspired by how 'The Wild, The Innocent and the E Street Shuffle" closes. Slow buildup and violin part is almost identical.
I'd say the last 6 minutes are fine because I think you're intended to be drifted off to sleep at this point. What;s stupid about it in this case, is that without that, this could be a single album. I hardly think that last 6 minutes of noise is worth fumbling over an extra disc, taking up room in your collection. lol

too long and slow, but still a little creative, but not the best to close the album
