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)

Light and fun by Rush standards, but still full of their signature level of musical intricacy. A short but satisfying cut.

One of my favorite Rush songs ever. The chorus, featuring a wash of keyboards, an intricate Neil Peart groove, and one of Geddy's finest vocal melodies, creates a truly emotional and transcendental mood.
