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)

Pretty, but a clear low point of the album for me.
Very pretty track. Hackett's 12-string is just sublime, and Gabriel's near-falsetto paired with the lyrical imagery is the perfect relaxing counterpart. Banks' keyboard in the chorus is lovely too. I'd say it's somewhat reminiscent of Dusk from Trespass, just a little airier and at a quicker pace. Although it's no prog epic, it's a very pleasant tune.

A beautiful song that does a good job preparing you for The Fountain Of Salmacis.

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
