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)

Once again another masterpiece with a wonderful chord pattern. While the lyrics may have no meaning to some it becomes more relatable as we sit and watch tv more and more. The druming is more complex than it first looks (13/8 time) and has a wonderful flow throughout. (Edited)

The best song in 13/8 time ever written. I love everything about this one.
Booming way to open Side 2. As the fourth piece of the Duke suite, Turn It On Again shows how Albert watches television all day to recover from his breakup with Duchess to the point that he things the actors on the screen are actually his friends. This is backed up by Collins' best vocal on the album (those euphoric screams of "I, I, I" in the chorus... so good!) as well as one of the top instrumentals on the album, led by Collins' stomping drums and Banks' uptempo keyboards. Probably my pick for the second best song on the album after Behind the Lines. (Edited)
