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 3% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 82.4/100, a mean average of 82.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 82.9/100. The standard deviation for this track is 11.0.

The second half is the real stand out bit here; the drums give way, leaving you floating, and the guitars lull you into an extremist sense of relaxation. It's tantalisingly good.
One of the best songs off the album. Part 1 is a pure punk song, but then it turns into an eerie jam session with Thurston playing a synth, while Lee sings some almost scary vocals.
Really love this nonchalant drum section somewhere in the middle of the song.
