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 81.2/100, a mean average of 81.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 81.4/100. The standard deviation for this track is 11.3.

Wow, genius.
Quite possibly the grooviest song about death ever made. As it's almost entirely instrumental, it allows Banks and Hackett to flaunt their mastery of the keys and strings for a couple minutes, but it's over pretty quickly. Doesn't reach the raw emotional peak of Hairless Heart, so it has to settle for the second best instrumental on this album.

Phil joins on vocals for this good transitional piece with some decent guitar to close the song out.
