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)

Wanders too much for my taste. Of all the songs of the album this one is the one I think about less often. Yes, I even like Seamus more.
Such a dreamy track. I love the tone of Gilmour's vocals on this one.
Wonderfully paced, pulsing and gently lyrical
Possibly my all time favorite Pink Floyd song, if I had to choose.
