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 88.6/100, a mean average of 88.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 89.5/100. The standard deviation for this track is 12.5.

The long journey does not always keep me grabbed, child of its own time.
The song is very good, starting with the Exorcist tune and progressing with some calmer and harder moments, but when you get to the end and start that sort of fugue with the instruments being introduced, all played by him... really really cool.
Always loved this. This first side is far superior to the second. A great musical journey.

These kinds of long instrumental progressive songs usually end up being kinda hit and miss with me. There's always that one part that's really good and then those other few parts that you'd rather not listen to again, but just the ability to write such a long song is incredible. All that being said, the music playing at the end when the guy is announcing all the instruments is so beautiful. It's one of the coolest melodies I've ever heard.
