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)

Now this is more like classic Camel. Comes roaring in with the guitars immediately before letting the synths have time to shine, all while Andy Ward pounds away in the background. Still has that broader pop appeal, especially later in the song when the vocals come in, but it's meshed very well. Definitely a highlight of the record. (Edited)
