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)

My favourite on the album
I like to call this one the "happy" Simple Twist of Fate, as the two songs are very musically similar. I think I like the former a little better, but this is still top-tier Dylan with his warm guitar strums, vocal inflections, and always crisp lyrics. One of many classics on this record.
I don't find anything special, nor musically nor lyrically, for this track to be so highyly rated.
