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 6% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 79.8/100, a mean average of 79.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 80.3/100. The standard deviation for this track is 14.5.

Another fun song, catchy. On first hearing on the radio I thought it was a Stones number til the vocals kicked in. Mike's guitar makes the track.
A bluesy rock number that is undoubtedly fun and undoubtedly catchy. It's not necessarily a great song, but it's one that you'll have stuck in your head for days after listening to it. I'm usually not a fan of minimalism in music, but it works pretty well here, as Rutherford's crunchy guitar riffs, Collins' bleating vocals and his distorted slow percussion drive the song along just fine. Banks adds some extra sound with his light keyboard play, but in a true rarity for Genesis, his presence probably wasn't needed. The lyrics? They're supposed to be making fun of "airheaded" male models, but you probably wouldn't be able to tell that without looking it up. In short, it's a solid number with most of its appeal coming from how catchy it is.
