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 4% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 80.8/100, a mean average of 80.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 81.0/100. The standard deviation for this track is 13.8.

One of the best songs on the album. Early hints of post-punk darkness here, and some gorgeous guitar riffs too.
My favourite from the album. Slower than the rest and incredibly catchy.
Also, I don't know how true this is, but I heard that their manager wanted them to write a song about S&M. But just to piss him off, they wrote a song about a sub(marine)-mission.

Is this song meant to be some kind of double innuendo, or do I just need to get my head out of the gutter?
Solid song
