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 92.7/100, a mean average of 92.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 93.0/100. The standard deviation for this track is 9.9.

Essa rasga a alma, Jesus!
In my opinion this is the best Hendrix song. I don't think you could describe this song any more accurately than with the word "blistering"
I love this song, and it consistently alternates as one of my favorites by Jimi, but I don't think it deserves to be rated as high as a 90 when songs like If 6 was 9 and Castles Made of Sand clearly deserve higher ratings in my opinion.
ravioli ravioli give me the formioli

Still can't decide which guitar solo is better, the first or the second one. It's something that'll bug me til I die.
When I listen to this song, I need to stop whatever I'm doing so I can play air guitar. Of course, I only do this in private, not in public.

To be honest, I prefer this to Along the Watchtower.

I think this is my favorite song by Jimi Hendrix. The astonishing effects, the killer riff, the solo work and the out of this world vocals and lyrics aswell.
Jimi has a few classic incredible intros like this.
