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 11% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 78.6/100, a mean average of 77.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.8/100. The standard deviation for this track is 14.0.

Overblown and brilliant, a good ending to an excellent album.

One of the lesser songs on the album, but still a worthy closer.
It may be overdrawn with lyrics that shouldn't have been used twice, but it's the ending of one of the greatest rock opera albums in the world. And a great song with the same Stienman lyrics that fans can't resist!

Great song. THIS is why they call this album a rock opera.
