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)

The subject matter is perhaps the main focus here, particularly how well the lyrics deal with it.
But I don't think enough praise is given to how fantastic that sky-high, downward guitar riff is that comes in at all the right moments throughout the song. Such a sense of huge, open-sky feeling. Begs you to blast down the motorway heading to anywhere shouting along to the chorus.
An anthemic, goosebump inducing masterpiece. At least one of those stars is for that final section, another for the potent delicacy of that intro.
Just a masterpiece of music! Moreover I love the end of the song!
