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 93.2/100, a mean average of 92.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 93.4/100. The standard deviation for this track is 12.6.

What a way to start an album and what an introduction to King Crimson. The whole band shines, but I want to
highlight the brilliant drumming by Michael Giles and the quintessential Fripp solo
This track is a combination of heavy metal, prog rock and jazz rock and all before these genres had really been identified so it is extremely influential in this respect. Distorted vocals, a dissonant guitar solo, a free jazz ending and its political message all culminate together to create one of the best album tracks of the sixties.
Progressive rock has arrived - Big Time.

I like it, know it from Kanye West, but I liked King Crimson before Kanye West. The song is genius the guitar and the effects and the voice great.

Everything about this song is just fantastic. Greg Lake's distorted voice, the drums, the riff just everything. This song and this album marks the beginning of an era, the era of progressive rock.
No words.
