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)

Superb opener. A really unique sound.
Awesome opener! Dat bassline as well :D
excellent opener
Great opening track. Amazing bassline, and tired vocals(in a good way). Great at setting a tone.

Obviously in my top 5 greatest songs to open an album

I agree with the comment below.
ONE OF THE BEST OPENING TRACKS EVA
