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 3% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 83.1/100, a mean average of 82.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 83.8/100. The standard deviation for this track is 11.1.

Kind of reminds me of Jethro Tull.
I agree there's some 21st Century Schizoid Man resemblance. But there's enough for the track to stand on its own. It's similar, absolutely not the same.
It's simply a great track for this album.
This song definitely reminds me of 21st Century Schizoid Man. It is different enough to stand on its own but between this heavier song and then the softer Cadence and Cascade that follows it feels like the band is just copying what worked for their first album.
