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 88.2/100, a mean average of 87.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 88.5/100. The standard deviation for this track is 11.8.

My favourite track on this album.
Probably Billy's best guitar solo.
Chilling song, great choice of listing straight after Disarm.
First time that I've commented on this site. In 23 years, I cannot shake this song. It will always be an all time favorite both for heart felt lyrics and euphoric heavy sound.

This was chosen the leading single for a reason

Absolutely bloody amazing song, favourite song off the album behind Mayonaise. Gives me chills every time I listen.

I love how relaxing this one is compared to the epic "Disarm".
Incredible song

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
