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 87.0/100, a mean average of 86.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 87.7/100. The standard deviation for this track is 12.8.

Exactly as GandalfORiley says below, this is savage as f*ck. There's an electrifying menace in that killer riff and the shrillness of the guitars as they spiral outwards and upwards. Insane.
Amazing song, one of their best riffs and an awesome way to fuse punk and pop song structures with their noisey roots.

The only song that I remember being good of the album.
