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 2% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 83.9/100, a mean average of 82.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 84.2/100. The standard deviation for this track is 13.9.

Time. Is. LIKE A FUSE. Short. And. BUR-NING FAST
One of the only times Metallica goes extreme love it.

One of the most brutal songs I've ever heard. The apex of Metallica's heaviest music. Impacted many famous artists of all different styles.
I'm not a fan of really heavy metal, but I can judge good songs from bad ones. The guitarists can play, and Metallica is good with lyrics, but I don't like the Slipknot sound.

Amazing acoustic intro followed by good ol' thrash metal \m/
