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)

A warm, dreamscape-like track, perfect for its name and its lyrical matter about a man who can't awake from his strange dreams. It's almost like if you took early Genesis' mystical lyrics and dropped them into your average '80s pop song. Seriously, the slow, simple feel of the music in this one pretty much screams stereotypical '80s Genesis. It's good, with the louder choruses being the best part, but there's a lot of good tracks on this album, and this one kind of gets forgotten in the background as a consequence. Certainly not worth skipping if you're listening to Duke in entirety, but probably not the go-to track if you're just looking for a taste of this album.

Just gorgeous, the lyrics are excellent, it's sung very well and Tony excels on this piece.
One of the most skipable songs in their catalog.
