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 91.6/100, a mean average of 90.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 91.8/100. The standard deviation for this track is 14.5.

The main riff could come back 50 more times and I’d welcome it again and again.

This song is like the end of Portal 2 where the robot woman sings. Amazing

It is at once both slow motion yet fast, dreamlike yet energetic, comforting yet infinitely loud. Fan-f*cking-tastic music.

This is the perfect first song for this album, what a great way to start it off. This track and the rest of the album just sounds like peace.
