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 19% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 77.9/100, a mean average of 77.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.0/100. The standard deviation for this track is 13.9.

Jason and Lars steal the show. Hetfield's lyrics are excellent here.

I've read the lyrics, and I'm not going to listen to the song. I'm a christian and I'm not listening to anything that implies God ever fails.

Interesting riff, but not one of my favorite songs on the album. Sounds a bit generic. Also, it sounds like a lot of the crappy music Metallica wrote after this album.
