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 86.3/100, a mean average of 85.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 87.0/100. The standard deviation for this track is 15.9.

Epic in length and scope, and the team really pulls it off. This is a killer classic.
This is the most influential Meat Loaf song, and by far the greatest!
Catchiness: top notch!
Lyrics: so much put into these lyrics!
Baseball references: nothing screams "go all the way" play-by-play by Phil Rizutto.
Arrangements: perfect.

Such a great song! Lyrics are corny as shit but it's an excellent rock n roll song. I love the transition that becomes really funky and you can hear sex noises in the background.
