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 has a Bayesian average rating of 74.3/100, a mean average of 73.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.3/100. The standard deviation for this track is 15.4.

I actually quite like the bridge on this song, but the verses and chorus are just alright.
Poor cover version.
Another cover, originally the theme tune for the 1961 film version of Shelagh Delaney’s play of the same name. I actually don’t get the hate for this one. It’s a pretty good track with a somewhat ethereal quality to my ear. Almost sounds like a bit of proto-psychedelia, if you ask me. I can hear hints of what they would eventually become when I play this one and for that reason I think it deserves a little more appreciation.

I love the vocals and always loved the general atmosphere of the song.
What can I say? I like it big time because of the performance.
An okay track. One of my least favourites from the album, but still, it shows the diversity already employed in the band. Nothing more than filler though.

Some pre-psychedelia maybe?
