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 91.6/100, a mean average of 90.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 92.0/100. The standard deviation for this track is 12.8.

This track builds and builds. The ending is the best part for me. I didn't give it the 10 out of 10 because I heard that type of guitar soloing before, and better (Robert Fripp). Still, it's a great track.

This might be my favorite Genesis song. In a discography full of incredible cuts, this might be the one to rule them all. Everything is just perfect. The piano intro is magical. The pastoral lyrics that reveal a deeper truth of humanity are profound. The flute solo is beautiful. The synth section is jamming. And, oh my god, the guitar solo. Quite possibly the greatest thing that Steve Hackett ever did. For those three minutes, your mind goes on a trip through space and time. And don't forget to listen for Collins' drumming, or you might miss it. It's excellent. Firth of Fifth is prog perfection.

Steve Hackett's guitar is brilliant, Gabriel's vocals are warm as hell, and of course Tony Banks' keyboard track is the stuff of legend.

A prog rock standard. One of the most legendary guitar solos ever recorded. Everything else, including the amazing piano work at the beginning, is simply stellar.
