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 92.0/100, a mean average of 91.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 92.6/100. The standard deviation for this track is 11.8.

Uh yeah this is easily their most epic badass song. It's use in the movie Twister is fun haha.
The highlight of the album.
Underrated song, an all time great of Hard Rock
One of the greatest songs of all time!

Trippy, especially the outro, and very impressive screaming. Many goosebumps to get from this track!

One of the greatest songs of all time! It is also what I believe to be the greatest vocal performance ever. Ian Gillan screams like no one else can. The song is both beautiful and creepy. It is both soothing and anxiety-inducing. This song = orgasm.
