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 86.4/100, a mean average of 85.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 87.0/100. The standard deviation for this track is 11.9.

It has slowly become one of my favorite songs of all time. I really, really love it. Like I want to live inside this song and never come out again.
A really solid song that has an interesting duality between beautiful dreamy melodies and a really dissonant and thunderous accompaniment. However, it feels out of place on Depression Cherry.
I could have seen it being placed right before the end, but the decision of having this electric of a track immediately follow Levitation is a bit of a head-scratcher for me.

I almost thought this was as good as Cocteau Twins for a second. *almost*

Whenever the guitar starts, magic happens.
