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 4% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 81.6/100, a mean average of 84.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 84.1/100. The standard deviation for this track is 10.4.

Most captivating song on the album thus far. Comes crashing in and doesn't lose steam for the entire first half, which blends Renaissance's proggy style with some jazz themes and adds a nice haunting echo effect to the dual lead vocals from Haslam and bassist Jon Camp to make it stand out. Second half takes on a much more gentle approach and isn't quite as satisfying at the first half, but still has very strong moments—more great vocals from Haslam and Camp, and a really wonderful harmonic finish. Great piece of music overall.
