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 89.7/100, a mean average of 88.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 90.1/100. The standard deviation for this track is 14.6.

The song that initiated a whole generation of Rush fans, and rightfully so. It has suffered some overplay, but that doesn't diminish it's greatness. This is the quintessential Rush song.

A brilliant and legendary prog track. Always fun to play along with the drumtrack, be it on real drums or your own air drum kit. A wall of sound pouring out of these 3 guys.
