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 87.6/100, a mean average of 87.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 88.0/100. The standard deviation for this track is 13.0.

This is the song that got me into Iron Maiden. Great drumming song. This song holds a special place in my heart.

Agree wholeheartedly this is a phenomenal drum track. Same could be said about vocals and bass but I think this is really a drum showcase with drumming that’s both musical and athletic to support the catchy choruses.
I don’t think this is one of the very best Iron Maiden songs but it’s a classic and one of the better tracks on The Number of the Beast.
