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 92.1/100, a mean average of 91.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 92.2/100. The standard deviation for this track is 11.7.

Parts I-V feel more satisfying as a standalone song, and maybe more moving and entrancing, but VI-IX is still an absolute 100/100. Moves between each part so smoothly. The way part 6 builds and builds on top of that warbling baseline like a man falling into madness is astonishing, and part 8 is just so fucking groovy. It's all among some of the best music ever made.

Absolutely a great track, but not as good as Shine part 1-5. Still a 90 out of 100 from me.

The last few notes of this song (and this album)are a hidden hommage to Syd Barrett: it's the melody of See Emily Play! Wonderful attention.

The conclusion, were it all goes around. Combining feelings from all previous songs creating an epic finisher.

Rick Wright's keyboards are so funky on this one!
