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)

Top5 Gilmour solos, maybe top 3
One of the most criminally underrated Floyd Songs, from the bells to the solo, pure heaven

This one always reminds me of The Beatles' "Long, Long, Long". For the most part an extremely quiet one, but beautiful.
I really like the rest of the album, but this I really couldn't get into.

Brilliant solo
