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 88.8/100, a mean average of 87.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 89.1/100. The standard deviation for this track is 13.0.

Not just the greatest Metallica song, but quite possibly the greatest rock song ever period.
Absolute class, true masterpiece from Metallica once again!
87/100 for a masterpiece? You're kidding me??

Epic journey through a sanitarium. The second half of the song is one of Metallica's finest hours.
86? Really?? For this timeless beautiful masterpiece?

This song always feels like a journey to me. The lyrics are some of Metallica's best. This is one of those all-star Metallica songs.
