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 5% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 80.9/100, a mean average of 80.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 81.1/100. The standard deviation for this track is 11.6.

Beautiful changes of melody that mesmerise throughout this song - if only the album had stayed like this...but with the next track this double album began trying to be too perfect, for me, it got produced to death, or at least a depressing kind of lifelessness.

Beautifull message and ending lyrics that complete the song together with a very emotional arrangement. One of my favorites of the album.
The guy's got a good voice. I didn't see a song like this coming from the album.
