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 88.0/100, a mean average of 87.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 88.5/100. The standard deviation for this track is 10.9.

The riff and this whole song is before it's time. Sounds like a stoner or doom metal band from the 90s could have come up with this riff, although it probably wouldn't be this good.
Among the heaviest songs of all time.
I really love that sludgy guitar riff.

Black Sabbath never got better than this. The riff is awesome, but it's just an intro- the song that comes to follow set the standard for innovative metal music.

Ozzy's vocals steal the song here. The riff is solid but not Iommi's best work.
