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 90.2/100, a mean average of 89.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 90.5/100. The standard deviation for this track is 12.6.

From the jump with the iconic intro drum beat, this is one of the greats, especially what it serves as an opener. Listen to all the layering going on and how it impacts the tension driving the song.

It's a tragedy that the band became what they became after releasing this stunning track in their early days.
Not a U2 fan, but this song is fantastic
The first U2 song I heard live. Is fantastic. Classic
One of their best songs
Emotionally charged anthem, that will forever be in U2's live setlist. One of their most defining songs
A little repetitive, but it's one of the best U2 songs.
