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 91.8/100, a mean average of 90.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 92.0/100. The standard deviation for this track is 14.2.

Great song and I agree that there is some similarity with the piano and strings to Radiohead's Pyramid Song (listen to that song at 1.49 - 1.59 in for probably clearest indication) although it doesn't appear to get credited

PYRAMID song... How much DOLLAR really cost?
There's a pyramid in your dollar bill. Illuminati confirmed.
Also, I love this song.

The strings are so nice and they could sit in the mix better if they were a little louder or deeper. It still sounds incredibly nice. I do agree it sounds like Radiohead although I think Radiohead would have mixed it differently.
This comment is beneath your viewing threshold.

The narrative on this song is unlike any other I've ever heard wow. It blows me away. The first time I heard it I was shocked, and to this day it amazes me.
Woow the bets lyrics of the year.

SOUNDS LIKE RADIOHEAD
The climax to this song is incredible and probably my favorite track on the album.

How many rappers could pull off a song about meeting a homeless man who turned out to be Jesus? I'm guessing not many.
