Rating metrics: Help 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 88.0/100, a mean average of 87.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 88.5/100. The standard deviation for this track is 13.7.

One of the greatest intros to any album. Intense and anthemic beginning of one of metal's all time classics. Some of Bruce's best vocals.

Probably the greatest opening track on any Iron Maiden album. Loud and powerful it's Maiden at their best with Bruce Dickinson at the top of his game as a vocalist. A classic Maiden track.

One of Iron Maiden's greatest songs! Great riff, solos, vocals, bass, drumming, song in general.
