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 91.1/100, a mean average of 90.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 91.3/100. The standard deviation for this track is 10.7.

The only thing wrong with this track is you can't hear all the lyrics. Otherwise exceptional.

An epic song of real force, it's brutal! I feel like I'm being assaulted by guitars and keyboards from all directions when I listen to this. Love it

I just love the boogie groove like in "one of these days". "Dogs" may be better but this is my personal favourite on the album.

If you ask me, this is musically the weakest track on the album, but the lyrics are the best.

I love when the vocals fade into a drone. Heavily based in electronics.
