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)

If it sounds a lot like a track that could have been on Genesis' first album, that's because it is. Visions of Angels was written for From Genesis to Revelation but was saved and re-recorded for Trespass. As such, it feels like a bit of a letdown after the excellence of White Mountain. But it's a still a good song, and the fact that Genesis saved it for the better production value of Trespass and Gabriel's more confident vocal delivery only helps it. There are some really nice moments in here, especially with Banks' keyboard and piano. But it's still probably the lowest point on Trespass. (Edited)

A nice piano introduction which is too short. It suffers through a poor drumming track and the organ sounds dated. Pete's vocals are very good though.
