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 85.9/100, a mean average of 85.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 86.1/100. The standard deviation for this track is 11.9.

As was described by someone far more eloquent than me, "sludgy, grinding riff & dark, apocalyptic lyrics".
The song definitely sounds like the apocalypse should sound and Bill's drumming on this track is top draw. Quite simply, another great slab of Sabb. (Edited)
What a riff. (Edited)

Favourite of Sabbath's. Amazingly dark and gloomy, just feel the wah. (Edited)
Definitely one of the darker songs on the album. (Edited)
