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 86.5/100, a mean average of 87.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 87.8/100. The standard deviation for this track is 10.9.

From the way the lyrics hit me when the song started, I knew I would enjoy this. It's a very different song, and I feel it could've been better. But it was cool for what it was. The lyrics could've been scarier, though. They're kind of repetitive.

Perfect way to start this great concept album. I love when he says "I hope I didn't scare you." The wah guitar gives it a nice ambient hippie sound. The highlight for me is the saxophone sound but I think it's done with keyboards?? I could be wrong.
I have some difficulty with the abundant orchestration in the song, but the intro and the first minute of the song are among the best (both lyrics and music) that AC ever composed.
Groovy! (Edited)
