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 83.8/100, a mean average of 83.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 84.0/100. The standard deviation for this track is 11.8.

I think to much time was spent on writing the lyrics and not enough time on how they could reprise here comes your man. Friend or Foe - sorry foe on this one.

A kind of reprise of "Here Comes Your Man," this is, in my opinion, the weakest track on Doolittle. But that might be because I'm just sick to death of indie rock songs about guns, and just sick of guns, period.
Nice little track :)

Again the allturation with the lead singer and the female voices in the background, gives a really great atmosphere to the song.

One of the more enjoyable tracks, I wish this song had been expanded on.
A reprise of the best song in the album? It can't be anything but awesome. Short and fantastic

Not bad
