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 81.1/100, a mean average of 80.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 81.5/100. The standard deviation for this track is 16.3.

Agreed. Pink Floyd without Waters is largely soulless. But there still was the combined mastery of Gilmour, Wright and Mason. Their live performances were legendary and they still managed to pull off some great tracks. Like High Hopes. And this track, the musically beautiful Sorrow.

Excellent guitar work.
Fantastic track. Heavily underrated here. Top-tier guitar work from Gilmour.
