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 83.9/100, a mean average of 83.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 84.5/100. The standard deviation for this track is 13.0.

With the Led Zeppelin´s When The Levee Breaks drums and Black Sabbath´s Sweet Leaf riff it´s just an incredible hard rock rap masterpiece

Sure Beastie Boys must have been a huge influence on Rage Against the Machine. The crescendo of the "Ali Baba and the forty thieves" part sounds a lot like the one found in "Killing in the Name" (or is it another RAtM song that I'm thinking of?).
