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 3% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 83.2/100, a mean average of 82.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 84.1/100. The standard deviation for this track is 14.1.

Sounds a lot more like the next album than other tracks here.
Could have finished off the album perfectly, instead we get the terrible hidden track "The Weedy Burton". Onto this song itself though, it's brilliant, it hints at what was to come in Seventeen Seconds, but still contains the theme of Three Imaginary Boys.
