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 has a Bayesian average rating of 77.0/100, a mean average of 74.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.5/100. The standard deviation for this track is 15.1.

The Eternal is a break-up album, you can find lyrics referring to it everywhere. Massage the History was Kim's last goodbye, and this one is Thurston's. Although Thurston apparently thought SY would go on, this is clearly him venting his frustration about Kim, and saying bye to their marriage.
