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 89.8/100, a mean average of 89.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 90.0/100. The standard deviation for this track is 11.8.

Very powerful; who would think that an organ riff can sound that heavy ? The first song by them that I really liked.
One of their best songs

Reminds me of Springsteen.
what do you mean dude? The ending is mostly a repeated chorus. So if you didn't get the references to the church the first two times, why would it make sense now. time for me to go to songmeanings.com

To me, best song by these guys without a doubt. "take me to your heart" should strive to be more like this song. It better have a lot of intensity to pull off the grandiosity of the intro with that pipe organ. Suffice to say, it delivers. I don't know what the song's about but he's pissed off for some reason, and I don't blame him. I like when he yells "Who's gonna reset the bone!!" If I were stuck on a desert island and could only chose between this song and "take me to your heart", I would definitely choose this song.
