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)

Yep, would have thought this was Pink Floyd.
Beautiful track, nice vocals, a gentle ballad with (as others have already mentioned) a really well engineered sound. And little wonder, as of course Alan Parsons was the (main) Engineer on "Dark Side of the Moon", for received a Grammy Award nomination for Best Engineered (didn't win - go figure, but nor did Pink Floyd for DSOTM)
Can't believe this is not Pink Floyd! There are definitely similarities between this and "The Dark Side of the Moon", especially if you listen to the background vocals. The lead singer also sounds very familiar!
Beautifully crafted track, love listening to this band.
