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)

Good track, starts off mellow then the attack begins.
Wacky song and perhaps the most "prog-sounding" on the album. A really good opportunity for Mel Collins to shine on what he brought to Camel, with his saxophones taking center stage. Then it gets a little jazzy and a little Gates-of-Delirium-like as Latimer belts out another fantastic guitar solo. Camel was the king of prog rock instrumentals, and it shows again here on what is likely the album's best song.
