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 86.2/100, a mean average of 85.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 86.6/100. The standard deviation for this track is 11.5.

Some incredible bass is buried in this mix. Still a great tune even if you're not able to hear one of Cliff Burton's best performances.

What a way to end album 2. They had seldom moments where they sounded this ambitious and ferocious for the rest of the catalog.

A perfect album closer. One of the best instrumental tracks ever.
This is a pretty good instrumental. I can't say it's one of my faves, but it could be one of the best.

Dave Mustaine's last credited Metallica song. One of the best instrumentals I've ever heard. The intro is one of the greatest of all time.
