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 has a Bayesian average rating of 75.3/100, a mean average of 74.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.2/100. The standard deviation for this track is 15.7.

Certainly one of the more out of left field Priest tracks I've heard. Halford is a titan of a singer. But he shouldn't have ever crooned like this.

WHY? I'm gonna pretend this song isn't on the album. Not that it's horrible... it's just not Judas Priest.
