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)

Wonderful, often overlooked but in my view it's as good as anything they've done. Bass and guitar very distinctive. (Edited)
A lesser-known track, but I wouldn't know why. This is at par with Roundabout, Long Distance Runaround, Heart of the Sunshine.
Can't get much better than this masterpiece

Phenomenal. As brilliant as Roundabout or Heart of the Sunrise. The middle section is just astonishing.
