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)

Might be the most defining AiC song. One of the coolest grooves ever and the solo is excellent. The adjectives below fit very well too, though I think they musically have made darker songs, while this one is in middle. Quality-wise, it's on top.
Surprised JMan didn't make a specific comment about the 'anit-Jesus' nature of this song...
Heavy, baddass, creepy, cool as hell. Great song.
I'd have to argue that it's their best song.
