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 86.7/100, a mean average of 86.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 87.0/100. The standard deviation for this track is 12.6.

One of their best tracks.
One of the longer tracks of this album, being 'only' 6 minutes. Fantastically played, this is a strong song.

This song is a magnificent accomplishment. It proves that you can be progressive and still have a groove. The song's forward motion is a perfect exposition of the theme.

A beautifully layered piece musically and lyrically this song is a true narrative from Neil Peart.
Atmospheric, majestic, soaring, dynamic.
This song's actually pretty cool. I really like the guitar.
