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)

Queen kick off one of their best records with this rollicking track. It's a great song, although I've never been overly keen on the guitar histrionics on this song. Still, it's a good song, full of hedonism and debauchery, and a staple of Queen's live set for years to come(at least the guitar solo anyway).

Albeit not a radio hit song, It is a helluva great album opener, heavy and complicated,
An amazing moment for Brian May. My favorite song of the album.
