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)

The track where I came to the realization that Funeral is on the Mount Rushmore of albums.

JODER. Definitivamente es de las mejores canciones indie que he escuchado. Antes, mi favorita del album era Neighborhood #1 y lo fue por varias semanas (y la sigo amando), pero luego llegué a escuchar múltiples veces seguidas esta canción y hasta el día de hoy sigo escuchándola unas 5 veces por día mínimo. Transmite demasiadas vibes. Sirve para todos los sentimientos que existen. Estar feliz, triste, angustiado, satisfecho, etc., etc., todo se siente bien cuando escuchas Rebellion (Lies). Una de mis favoritas de toda la vida. El segundo coro después que Win canta Every time you close your eyes, y Régine canta (LIES!! LIES!!) UF, qué hermoso, hermano. Hermosas armonías. Esto sí es buena música carajo.

Their best song, along with Neighbourhood #1. Neighbourhood is probably better in most objective ways; it has better lyrics, a more interesting structure, and is more ambitious overall. Rebellion, on the other hand, is relatively simple in both structure and lyrics, but, partly because of this, manages to be as close to pop perfection as I've ever heard. It's not something which can easily be explained, obviously the song is very well made, and I wouldn't be able to identify any weaknesses, but above and beyond all that this song manages to be flawless.
The one moment which elevates the song to these heights is, in my mind, key change in the last refrain. I will never understand how something so simple can be so transcendental. (Edited)
That bass line, those lyrics...
.....hoooooooo every time you close your eyes hoooooooo....
