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 87.5/100, a mean average of 86.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 87.7/100. The standard deviation for this track is 14.5.

I doubt any band ever has had to change lead singer because of a tragedy and produced an opening song so brilliant on the next album as this
My favourite AC/DC song, I just love that riff and the bell intro

An excellent opener, the tolling bell sets the scene. A superb guitar riff to follow and then you have a great rock 'n roller.
I generally find AC/DC to be pretty overrated. I know their music's not supposed to be super complex and all that, but the simplistic style is just not for me. But I really enjoy this song, mainly for that main riff
My favorite by them, the intro makes all the difference.
Absolutely iconic, with an amazing riff.

Já arrepia nos primeiros segundos!
Pocos arranques in crescendo (de campanas y guitarras) tan tremebundos y espeluznantes como los de este tema, uno de los señeros en la discografía de estos traviesos australianos. Excelente.
Hell of a riff.
Much better after the second listen.
