Comfortably Numb ratings

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)

Gilmour never disappoints, when it comes to a solo

My favourite Pink Floyd song. Perfection. Two of the greatest guitar solos of all time included on this masterpiece.

This song is still worth a 100/100 without the guitar solo, which I personally have never considered one of my absolute favourites of Gilmour. The smooth flow, dramatic, beautiful choruses and ethereal lyrics make this a true masterpiece.

Ok fine, I concede that that is probably the greatest guitar solo ever

If the second guitar solo lasted forever, I might not listen to any other music ever again.
