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 81.3/100, a mean average of 80.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 82.1/100. The standard deviation for this track is 13.2.

Another standout on the album. The guitars drive this and I like the sound Mike achieves here. I'm surprised it wasn't played live more.
Like Ballad of Big, this one feels slightly cobbled together, thought I think it works a little better. The verses have a kind of slow bluesy swing to them, an oddity for a Genesis song, but there's some nice, heavy prog instrumentation overtop of it, highlighted by Collins' drum work, so it always works nicely. As kind of cool and subdued as the bridge is, it feels a little out of place compared to the rest of the song. Then there's this slow prog stomp to end the track out of the final chorus, changing styles for the third time in five minutes. I don't think this has quite the same euphoric highs as slightly-higher-rated songs like Snowbound and Undertow do, but it's still plenty enjoyable to listen to.
