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 2% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 85.9/100, a mean average of 85.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 86.2/100. The standard deviation for this track is 10.0.

High tempo.

Despite the gory subject matter, this is an excellent song. Excellent momentum and cool semi acoustic riffs.
The most accessible song on the 2nd half of the album, they still have some roots in rock on this one.

Great arrangement for a traditional folk song
How does this not have a ribbon next to it!! This song is so great. I'm still stunned to find these Led Zeppelin gems I had not heard. All because of this site.
Not only the banjo and transitions, Jason. It's the vocals that really get me into this. This song's a fave of mine!

Love how the song seems to go through little simple transitions. And is that a banjo I hear!?
