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)

A brilliant lyric perfectly delivered in a soaring melody.
Kansas is very good with lyrics, and these are easily their best and most beautiful put with an uplifting yet dramatic rhythm and beautiful vocals. This is by far one of my favorite Kansas songs.
