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 2% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 86.1/100, a mean average of 85.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 86.3/100. The standard deviation for this track is 11.8.

Forget the lyrics the music is fantastic.

Underrated for sure. The drumming is from another planet
One of the best songs on the album and BS career. No questions.
The last track, and it was ALL good.

An highly underrated Black Sabbath song. The lyrics don't really make all that much sense and it has been stated by members of the band that the song is pretty random and isn't really about anything in particular. The music however is great and takes a lot of very interesting turns.
