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 80.9/100, a mean average of 80.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 81.2/100. The standard deviation for this track is 13.3.

This has to be the most jammin' tune on the album. Who knew Phil Collins and Mike Rutherford could be so funky? But of course, it's Banks that steals the show with yet another fabulous keyboard/synthesizer performance. Like its predecessor, it borrows elements from prior songs on the record but it retreads them in a way that feels new. Oh, and Gabriel's deep delivery of "Evel Knievel, you got nothin' on me" is just the best. Heavily underrated, in my opinion.
An anthemic Banks-heavy song, it's wonderful.

There's some rapid-fire synth playing by mr. banks symbolizing the chaotic tumble of the rapids to open "riding the scree".
