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 88.7/100, a mean average of 88.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 89.1/100. The standard deviation for this track is 11.9.

I’ve fallen. Incomparable. Just logged in to give upgrade to 100/100 and I’d clearly done it before.
His best song.
A fine song, though I don't think it's quite the masterpiece of this album, as it doesn't really go anywhere musically. Most of the points here come from Van's fantastic vocals and his lyrics about this mysterious Madame George character. Ultimately a very pretty piece of music.
Such a beautiful song that whilst it is nearly 10 minutes playing time, it engages and pulls you in to the story and music. By the end, I really felt it was only 3 or 4 minutes time gone! Magic artist !!
