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 75.9/100, a mean average of 75.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.0/100. The standard deviation for this track is 13.2.

More boring blues. Daltrey tries to give a gruff vocal, and it just sounds ridiculous. Bare-bones instrumentation to back it up. It eventually builds into something slightly more interesting, but it's probably still the worst song on the album.
I disagree..think this is a really good Bo Diddley cover which The Who add their own personality with that distorted guitar break in the middle.
Blues is just not their thing. Daltrey sounds really weak doing this.
