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 90.2/100, a mean average of 89.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 90.4/100. The standard deviation for this track is 9.4.

Just listen to this song while sitting on a bench in a park. (Edited)
Maybe the most beautiful moment on the album.
Not saying this is the best song but rather just the more preciouss. (Edited)
A necessary track after 21st Century. Sequenced brilliantly between 21st Century and Epitaph. Ian Anderson must've adored this track! (Edited)

Their hippie tune and very calming, gives me inner peace. (Edited)

Such beautiful song and it works really good after 21st Century Schizoid Man. This song is crucial to the album and really helps make Epitaph even better. (Edited)
