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 85.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 87.2/100. The standard deviation for this track is 13.8.

I feel the over the top vocals don't suit the in your face lyrics. The guitar is wonderful.
Greatest "f*** you" ever put to music

The theatrical scope of this song is epic, it is a shame it passes by so fast because I really liked it.
Freddie Mercury's second rant against unscrupulous rock'n'roll managers. This one though is even more vitriolic than Sheer heart attack's Flick of the wrist. Mercury is at his most angry and aggressive on this superb rocker that perfectly opens up Queen's best album. A scorcher of a track.
This comment is beneath your viewing threshold.
Heavy but tight as hell
according to me best of second song from this albüm.
Very good way to begin this opus. Do you know what the meaning is? It's "Screw the old Queen manager!"

Very heavy Queen song with one of my favorite riffs. Freddie Mercury write this as an insult to those who had stolen from their earnings on the previous albums. He even sounded angry on it.
