Rating metrics: Help 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 92.1/100. The standard deviation for this track is 14.1.

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.

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.

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