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 2% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 85.7/100, a mean average of 85.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 86.1/100. The standard deviation for this track is 11.1.

What a way to end this classic album. Ian Gillian shrieks to the heavens on top of one of the albums meanest riffs.
Personally not a big fan of the lyrics/vocals on this track, but that drum solo saved it for me
The epitome of Hard Rock.

Great song to end the album. Great riff, great vocals, great everything. One of the better songs on the album.
