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 91.0/100, a mean average of 89.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 91.4/100. The standard deviation for this track is 15.0.

Potentially the best opening track in the last 20 years.
One of my favorites.

Profanity is so fucking uncool, guys. I fucking hate profanity. Fuck profanity.
Great start, excellent track.
Complaining about f-bombs, really? He says 'fuck' at most twice in the whole song....Don't be so tight

I've listened to this album 7-8 times already, but it isn't until now how great I realize this opener is.
