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 7% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 79.4/100, a mean average of 78.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.5/100. The standard deviation for this track is 16.5.

One of the coolest instrumentals ever. It's crazy and nightmarish.

scary as hell
Some pretty damn good work creating all these sonic landscapes. The ending 3 minutes are just beautiful.

Although the studio version is not the best, this song is simply incredible, with the amaizing melody that cut my soul in half. The Live At Pompeii version has the unbelievable Gilmour's screams.

Far from being as popular as "Interstellar Overdrive" and I'm not sure that's fair. It lacks a great riff to encapsulate the improvisational freaked out jamming, but it's also a completely different beast we're dealing with here. Foreshadows their future progressive direction and embodies much more structure than just a bookend riff. The experimental first three parts are demanding, but highly rewarding once the revelatory-sounding "Celestial Voices"-part kicks in. Mysterious, but in the end gorgeous!

In my opinion this one is better than the last ones, at least the most
