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 85.9/100, a mean average of 86.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 86.8/100. The standard deviation for this track is 15.3.

A terrific song all around and a massive album opener/tone-setter.
In the first 5 minutes alone, The Leper Affinity provides enough interesting ideas, great riffs, and well-executed change-ups to power 2-3 songs.
What a track, and what a capturing of a great band at or close to their very best.

En cuanto a la música me gusta el tono progresivo que toma en ciertas partes pero el apartado vocal de este estilo nunca ha sido lo mio
