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 was a last minute entry into the lineup for this album and could have easily been a bit of throwaway filler, but it ended up being a stellar cut. Geddy's bass work in particular provides a special momentum to the song.
For some reason I'm just not crazy about this song, and it was a single. Lyrics and delivery of them are a high point, but overall it falls flat for me.
