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 2% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 85.3/100, a mean average of 85.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 86.7/100. The standard deviation for this track is 14.5.

Time Stand Still has always been one of my very favorite Rush songs.
The lyrics were noteworthy and impactful to me in high school, now over a decade later even more so. The sentiment behind these lyrics touches on something truly universal.

Wonderful song. Great lyric and one of Geddy's best vocal deliveries.
