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 5% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 80.8/100, a mean average of 81.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 81.1/100. The standard deviation for this track is 11.2.

Great prog track with great vocals from Phil Collins. I like his singing for Genesis. It's less annoying to me than the sharpness of Gabriel (who I tremendously respect).

Still great but probably the weakest track on the album for me. The instrumental section is a strong point as is Phil's drumming.

Another very underrated tune. Phil provides some of his best drumming on this one, as well as a fantastically British vocal performance, telling the tale of a robbery gone wrong and mocking the English court system in the same fell swoop. The lyrics in the chorus and the outro may be a little lackluster, but they certainly are catchy, and the rest of the song's lines are excellent, as is the backing music all throughout. There's an especially prog-tastic moment halfway though via Banks' keyboards. Deserves more attention than it gets.

The instrumental middle section is of the best moments on the album, it's fantastic, especially the epic Cinema Show-like mellotron bit.
