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 2% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 84.2/100, a mean average of 83.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 84.7/100. The standard deviation for this track is 16.6.

To me, one of the most emotional songs (and lyrics) I've ever heard. Truly moving, this is a masterpiece of songwriting.

This song makes me want to make an entire movie about this album. It would be about a soldier in WWII, maybe roger's dad, maybe not. But the point is that there would be a funeral scene at the end, and this track would be the fadeout to credits

This album may not be up to the standards of 70s Pink Floyd, but you can't tell me that this track isn't excellent. 81/100 is horribly unfair.
