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 2% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 83.7/100, a mean average of 83.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 84.5/100. The standard deviation for this track is 12.2.

I think the percussion section is great and not over indulgent - especially compared to the other three tracks on this album! Easily the best piece here

As a whole, the best piece on this record only spoilt by the over indulgent percussion section.

Perfect piece of music! Totally salvages Tales
This song is perfect except for that terribly interruptive percussion section in the second half
