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)

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.
