Rating metrics: Help 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 4% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 81.0/100, a mean average of 79.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 81.2/100. The standard deviation for this track is 15.5.

For as great as tracks such as Knights of Cydonia, Map of the Problematique and others off this album are this stands as my favorite off this album and probably top 3 ever by Muse. An ultra heavy follow up to Invincible with great backing lyrics and riff work.

Sooooo freaking gnarly. Really cool riffs used on top of each other and the chord progression during the chorus is off the charts. The Grand Omega Bosses edit is even cooler.
