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 85.8/100, a mean average of 86.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 86.5/100. The standard deviation for this track is 9.7.

Classic Lizzy at thier very best, commercial but quality. I was amazed to discover this one only charted in the UK not the US.
I've been waiting all day to listen to this album, and the title track is well worth the wait.

An instant classic. Radio friendly due to its catchy chorus but it still rocks hard with great guitar riffs.
