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 86.8/100, a mean average of 87.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 88.2/100. The standard deviation for this track is 12.1.

As a first album this is nothing short of stunning - it is so passe to compare early Marillion to Genesis. The lyrics from Fish are more akin to poetry than mere song lyrics. Sometimes I wonder how much of their genius are lost on a non-UK audience given the amount of cultural references they contain.
Some people say Fish' Marillion is a bad copy of Genesis. Sit on the sofa and listen to this song while you read the lyrics and you'll see it's not true.
