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 86.7/100, a mean average of 87.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 88.5/100. The standard deviation for this track is 11.9.

Epic tune. Great instrumental interlude swelling to a fantastic resolution. This is one of the few Boston tunes that has stood the test of time.

Actually much better than I ever remembered it being...maybe because I was so disappointed with the rest of the album. This may be Tom Scholz' best written song.
Awesome song! Great way to start the second Boston album.
