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 91.6/100, a mean average of 90.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 91.8/100. The standard deviation for this track is 11.4.

I can hear shades of Animals on this track, it's just incredible.
Easily the best song of the album.

Amazing song

Hey You, Do you know how incredible is this song to start the second disc of this MASTERPICECE? and do you know that this one is one of the bests from the album?

Very solid. Doesn't have to be part of the concept to work on its own. Best rack on the album.
I feel like this comes too early and that Pink should spend more time in the wall.
Pink decided it's time for him to get back to society, but he can't break out of The Wall.
I really like that small part with the same rhythm as the Brick songs.

This may be the best Pink Floyd song. Just as good as "Wish You Were Here" and "The Great Gig In The Sky".

One of the best songs on the album. Gilmour's vocal part is definitely the highlight of this song.
