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 4% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 81.7/100, a mean average of 81.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 83.1/100. The standard deviation for this track is 17.3.

I actually really love this song. Another trip into the lighter side of the band after a heavier cut, but this one almost sounds like a prog praise band.

Though I am agnostic myself, the lyrics really move me and the arrangement is pretty fantastic. Mike Portnoy’s cymbal work is on point per usual.
