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 87.4/100, a mean average of 86.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 87.5/100. The standard deviation for this track is 12.8.

Nice instrumentation reminds me of Lucy In The Sky...
I like the puns: "round"/"turns", "wind"/"blows" (and "high"/"mind-blowing"), "blue"/"cry".
Uno de los momentos más brillantes del más brillante álbum de la historia.
Gorgeous harmonies
Probably my least favourite track on the album, though I can still see the appeal.

Good track. Doesn't do as much for me as the others though.
One of the best harmonies ever recorded! Awesome song :)
