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 89.1/100, a mean average of 88.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 89.5/100. The standard deviation for this track is 12.7.

Some songs are just excellent tracks in observable musical ways, some songs are unstoppably groundbreaking and their ripples are still being felt to this day.
Black Sabbath off of Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath is both.
Terrifying.
Very explicit lyrics describing what people thought was or could be happening at a medieval black sabbath. Unheard dark and haunting music, but also very Hammer horror. But who bothers? Great band, great atmosphere and a legacy that can’t be taken lightly.
One of my favorite Sabbath songs, the second heavy metal masterpiece. (The first being Dazed and Confused)
It certainly laid the foundation for Black Sabbath's dark vision. One of my personal favourite metal songs ever recorded.

Widely considered to be the first Heavy Metal song of all time. The most evil song written up to that point. The devil's note is played over and over again but in such a way that it doesn't get boring.

This song can only be described with one word: "Doomed"!
