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 1% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 92.2/100, a mean average of 91.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 92.6/100. The standard deviation for this track is 11.7.

Classic Yes song that I can listen to over and over again. Love the addition of Wakeman to group.

The scope of this song, let alone the execution of it, is breathtaking.

This song manages to keep the energy up all the way through, it's incredible. I always get a kick out of this song.

Yes it's a meme, but it also happens also one of the best songs of the decade

Another proof that an 8-minute Prog piece can be a radio hit xD
They put quite a bit of work into this song. Almost like a Kansas song.
