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 3% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 82.1/100, a mean average of 81.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 85.3/100. The standard deviation for this track is 20.1.

I'm consistently blown away by the solo section of this song. It's one of Petrucci's finest moments but for me, the real highlight is the r.i.d.i.c.u.l.o.u.s. drum track behind him.
It saves the song from being.. well.. kind of abysmal. The hook isn't bad, but the older I get, the Metallica rip shtick thing and trading vocals in the verses aged fucking poorly.

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
