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 90.4/100, a mean average of 89.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 91.0/100. The standard deviation for this track is 11.1.

As mentioned in a previous comment, Squire’s bass and Bruford’s are staggeringly impressive and important to this track. Purely based off of those two elements, I don’t know if there’s a better Yes song. And what an album closer! (Edited)

It doesn't get much better than this, an outstanding piece of music. (Edited)
The members put the best they could into this. Everything is so skillfully done. And the end result is brilliant.

The riff sounds like the riff from 21st Century Schizoid Man... almost thought it was the song at the beginning. Still a great song.
This is probably the best example of how great Chris's bass is and also Bruford's drumming. And also Anderson's vocal ability, and Wakeman's speed and skill, and you know what, Steve's unbelievable knowledge of the fretboard too. (Edited)
This comment is beneath your viewing threshold.
Love the bass riffs and guitar riffs, the drumming, also has an epic feel to it, and this song has one of Jon Anderson's best vocal performances. (Edited)
