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 9% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 79.1/100, a mean average of 78.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.2/100. The standard deviation for this track is 15.0.

Fantastic song to end this great album. Wow, that piano ending!
8.5/10 Great ending!
Agree this is underrated, surprised to find it so low in the rankings. Great ending to this album.

Such a good build up. I can't believe how it starts from that quiet little synth scale and ends up being this huge terrifying song. When he starts slamming down on those piano keys I feel awesome. Great closer to this album.
Surprisingly underrated. It shows a different face of the band and the piano crescendo is fantastic.
