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)

One of the better tracks of side 2 of the album. I love the haunting synth.

Musically, the simplest song on the album, but still so full of impact. Exceptional creation of atmosphere that evokes vivid images. The lyrics are positively brilliant--they perfectly focus Neil's antipathy toward organized religion on the dark side it manifests. Magnificent!

Probably the most forgettable track on Moving Pictures, but has a very unique vibe to it.
Unsettling atmosphere. Concise and uniquely produced.
Now I gotta hear the other two parts of "Fear".
