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 88.7/100, a mean average of 88.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 88.9/100. The standard deviation for this track is 11.2.

RIDIN THE GRAVY TRAIN!
A classic song to say the least. PF did a interesting job of having Roy Harper take over as the lead vocalist. His voice matches well with groovy instrumentals.

Great. Nothing more to say.
Gives the album some much needed body. A perfect rock song as far as I'm concerned. Funky, jittery guitar and keyboards playing all over each other in that good old Floyd way.
The album needs songs like Have a cigar and Welcome to the machine. Makes the whole album even better, rockier, edgier than it would be with SOYCD and WYWH only.
Some cool sounds on this! Not my favorite on the album though, but hard to be with the masterpieces that SOYCD and WYWH are!

Great track to make the album more groovy. The spacy sounds in the background are still sublime
I don't know why this song doesn't have a higher rating, it's sooo good.

Not bad
The first time I heard the song all he way through, I really liked it.
