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 87.3/100, a mean average of 87.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 88.3/100. The standard deviation for this track is 13.3.

It's a good song. Not only is it well made and heavy, it's an actually somewhat interesting story even if it's a bit inaccurate: the song is about Jesus deciding to travel to Hell after his crucifixion to take all of the dead sinners that will decide to follow Jesus to Heaven.

One of Dio's greatest songs. An instant classic. One of the all time great guitar riffs here written by Vivian Campbell.
