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 86.6/100, a mean average of 86.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 86.8/100. The standard deviation for this track is 11.9.

After listening to Blue Eyes And Orange Skies by The 1910 Fruitgum Company (from the album 1, 2, 3, Red Light), the piano / keyboard from 3:07 onwards on Poor Places is a delicious homage to the 1968 original piano melody.

It's so subtle, but everything about this track is damn near perfect. The acoustic guitar playing after it first goes to the chorus is one of the greatest moments
I don't understand why this wasn't the album closing track, the "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot" repeated would've been perfect for it
