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)

Could very well be their most powerful song.

Just stunning. Should be 90/100 rated for sure. The lyrics are real af and the guitar-work is some of the most tonally inspired in the history of rock.

A song that dragged me mad.

Can be a tough listen, but that's because the execution so perfectly matches the unpleasant subject matter.
The first and possibly only true classic track on side two. Co-credited to Marianne Faithful it's an utterly brilliant song. Haunting, eerie and superbly atmospheric it's one of the best songs on the album. Great track.
The slide guitar by Ry Cooder is truely awesom.
