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 91.0/100, a mean average of 90.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 91.3/100. The standard deviation for this track is 12.5.

Songs like this are where thrash meets Cliff's classical roots.

This song can be summed up in two words. "DAMN", and "BADASS".

The lyrics tell a very visual tale. Lars lays down an awesome drum track.
In a way, It's weird that someone from the ultra-popular heavy metal band Metallica would read an Ernest Hemingway book.

One of the most haunting Metallica songs. Cliff Burton is allowed to show up his melodic skills in the intro.

Very good guitar work on this one. Not as strong melodically.
