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 87.4/100, a mean average of 87.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 88.4/100. The standard deviation for this track is 11.3.

Absolutely the worst song on the album. The lyrics are cheesy as hell, the riff writing is very uninspired and watered down. The performance is fine. Not terrible, but not great by any means, especially for Iron Maiden. Why is this one of their most popular songs? It baffles me every time I listen to it.

This alone is worth listening to the album. Iconic
