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 1% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 88.7/100, a mean average of 87.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 89.0/100. The standard deviation for this track is 12.7.

While I’ve already left a comment for Creeping Death, I can’t help but find the fact this track doesn’t have at least a 90 to be staggering.

Arguably the greatest and most influential heavy metal song ever. Still slays in concert today.

Once again, the voice and the rhythm are the things that get me to like another Metallica song.

Tragically underrated Metallica song among the casual listener. It is technically one of their best. More people need to listen to this.
