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 85.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 86.1/100. The standard deviation for this track is 12.9.

I don’t think I’ve ever heard anything better. The lyrics of course, but the attitude; the spine tingle of excitement too. My words cannot do it justice.
Top-notch storytelling, even for his sky-high standards.
Creo que ahora comprendo de dónde los Rolling Stones sacaron su inspiración para "Torn and Frayed".
Really nice track :)
My personal favorite song off this album, it just makes me feel so good. With the combination of the twangy tack piano and the soft strums of Dylan's Fender guitar, you can feel the warm breeze of the Mexico air. Dylan's lyrics are so vivid, they seem right out of an adult story book. Lot's of fun and instantly puts me in a good mood. Wonderful song!
