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 has a Bayesian average rating of 73.8/100, a mean average of 71.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.2/100. The standard deviation for this track is 17.7.

Slow, emotional, bluesy song. It seems to have a little piece of Old Metallica's soul inside those beautifully-crafted sad lyrics. They tell the story of a drug-addicted homeless person who's trying to apologize for everything he has done to his close ones. This vagabond can no more distinguish reality from illusion. The pain of seeing what he has become is driving him to commit suicide. So he bids farewell. Or, at least, that's my interpretation.
Definitely, one of the most underrated songs of Metallica and my favorite song from Re-Load.

One of the incredibly few post-80's Metallica songs that builds some suspenseful emotion. HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY UNDERRATED x100000.

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
