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 has a Bayesian average rating of 76.3/100, a mean average of 75.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.3/100. The standard deviation for this track is 15.6.

Cool riff but honestly the song is not up to the caliber of the rest of the songs on the album.
I love the riff in this song, making this song one of my favorites on the album. Judging by the average ratings, I am in the minority on this.
It sounds different from the average AC/DC song, but the song just isn't as good as an AC/DC song, average or not.
