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 80.6/100, a mean average of 80.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 80.7/100. The standard deviation for this track is 12.7.

The last orchesta
Very good song on a very good album. Though it could've ended on the self titled track before this and added some interesting noises of the album like from intro to an outro, it might've been very interesting to see how much the album would've turned out, somewhat feels like a hidden track on here which isn't a bad thing really. Either way this track ends the album perfectly.
Beautiful closing track
