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)

The first time I heard this song was seeing Priest live in Detroit well over a decade ago at this point. My friend and I both were like “WHAT IS THIS SONG?!”, both agreeing it was a highlight of the show afterward.
Returning to this song while going through Ram It Down, it kicked my ass once again and it is, with some distance, the best song on the album. Sure there are some dated markings across the track but not in a way that quite steps all over the other tracks on Ram It Down.
Great song and an amazing Halford performance.
