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 89.3/100, a mean average of 88.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 89.6/100. The standard deviation for this track is 12.0.

I love the guitar solo, gives me goosebumps.
Some metalheads may say its "commercial" but can they name a song similar to this one? It's more than 6 minutes long but you just don't want it to end.

Incredible sonic landscape. Creates a movie in your head.
My favourite by them
Metallica did a pretty good job with the rhythm and lyrics. It may be soft, but it's still a cool song for Metallica.

The first really soft song Metallica ever wrote. This song must have taken Metallica fans by surprise and I'm sure many hated it, but it's a beautiful song that shows the versatility of Metallica.
