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 86.1/100, a mean average of 85.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 86.8/100. The standard deviation for this track is 11.9.

Like all of the Petty hits, this has a great hook. And, as always, the keyboards are fantastic. Good, not great song...but Petty makes it work.
I think this is the first Tom Petty song I've ever heard.
The repetitive chorus line is catchy but gets a little annoying. The song-writing is still great though.
