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)

Great song. Perhaps the track that saves the album. The structure of the song is not exactly original (Sabbath copies itself), but the performance is indeed strong and convincing. What is striking is the very clear presence of the bass from Geezer Butler. The lyrics ask whether, according to the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche's statement, God is dead. For whom religion has a place in life, this is an old but justified question.
