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 has a Bayesian average rating of 77.3/100, a mean average of 77.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.6/100. The standard deviation for this track is 13.4.

This is an underrated song among the also underrated catalog of Gentle Giant. The vocals of Derek Shulman are amazing! The melodies in this song are CATCHY, something that's not always a given with GG. A short but rewarding song, this is fun, pop-like prog at it it's best (and when I say pop-like, I only mean in the structure of the song.)
