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 89.5/100, a mean average of 90.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 91.4/100. The standard deviation for this track is 12.2.

The Cm->C->E->Fm9->C->Am->F#11->Cm is probably the most emotional a simple chord progression has ever made me. So many different emotions in the span of a minute. The droning C minor section is dark and ominous, then the unexpected switch to C major brings in some hope that seemed absent before. The switch to E Lydian adds a sense of mystery and almost reverence and The F minor adds in a desolate mournfulness to the mix. After that comes the important part, possibly the most powerful chord change I have ever heard, into the C major, which is just full of beauty, as the melody sweeps above and drops below before returning and the chord switches down to A minor as the melody repeats itself but over the different chord it is so much sadder, filled with sorrow and loss, then the melody drops down into the #11 of the F major, resolving the sadness of the A minor with a kind of acceptance that still holds all the sorrow deeper beneath it. It then lingers on that before returning to the C minor where it began, bringing back that ominousness, giving the sense that, even with all that has happened, there is still more that must be done. I don't know if any of this makes sense, it probably doesn't, but this song is absolutely genius.
