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 87.8/100, a mean average of 86.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 88.5/100. The standard deviation for this track is 15.1.

An epic! Great way to kick off this album and some great guitar solos.
It may be a long song, but it's a great beginning for a great album. Vampyric lyrics and a motorcycle rift from Todd Rundgren make this song what it is, the beginning of a legendary series of albums.

Had to beat this as a way to get engaged on with a great, over the top album.
