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 88.2/100, a mean average of 87.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 88.5/100. The standard deviation for this track is 13.9.

Rush's instrumentals are something else. This is a pinnacle of their musicianship and gives us a lot in a short track.

Not the greatest instrumental I've heard. It's too disjointed.

An absolute pinnacle in instrumentals. Lifespan playing the same progression throughout most of the song. Every time a little different. Sounding punk, metal or even eastern. Every silence is either filled with brilliant hasty bassplay topped of with just in time flagolettes or blistering drum fills. The pulling of string solos are amazing. It all tumbles down in a synth midpart. Only to come back to the main theme again. And oh yeah the shattering windows that's a great touch.

The ultimate progressive rock instrumental! Each individual is playing brilliant, complex music, and yet they all meld together into a whole that is somehow greater than the sum of its parts. This one is the gold standard for rock musicianship.

Deservedly one of the greatest instrumentals of all time. The Lee/Peart duel section followed by one of Lifeson's finest solos is the stuff of legend.
