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)

Probably the weakest song on the album, but of course on an album like this, that doesn't make it bad. Just the least in depth track on the album, still very heavy.

One of the most underrated Metallica songs. Super catchy riff and the ending of the song should be considered an instant classic. The solo always makes me really excited. Like something really great is coming.
