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 84.2/100, a mean average of 83.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 85.0/100. The standard deviation for this track is 14.6.

Under A Glass Moon is one of the best Dream Theater songs and, for me, arguably the song that could be considered the face and poster child of Images & Words.
There are some outstanding lyrics here as well as one of John Petrucci’s greatest moments on guitar.

Great Guitar solo but drums irritating.

Standard (read: excellent, astonishing, amazing) early DT fare.
A little cheesy but one of Petrucci's best performances. Great solo, fantastic riffs.

VERY underrated. Some of the band's best work right here. Especially Petrucci. This song is incredible.
