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 86.8/100, a mean average of 85.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 87.1/100. The standard deviation for this track is 13.7.

One of the best closers ever.
Best Interpol song, period.

This is one of the best songs on this album for me. The lyrics might be just too abstract. But I really adore its literary quality and the music is sheer excellence. It's a dark yet grand piece that delivers awe.

Great closing
