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 91.6/100, a mean average of 90.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 91.8/100. The standard deviation for this track is 12.3.

While Dreams is the most beautiful, and The Chain represents itself as the heart of Rumours and the band’s lineup at the time.. for my money, Go Your Own Way is the best song on the album.
No matter how many times I listen to it, it always gets me.

The chorous of this song is really building up.

Unfortunately this track is used in a car advertisement in Australia, and it gets played on high rotation. Thanks for nothing advertising people, thanks for spoiling a song that’s been near and dear to me my whole life

Visceral, deep running emotions converted into musical form. It's tense, tinged with anguish and delivered with absolute dexterity.
And don't tell me the guitar solo at the end doesn't give you goosebumps.

One of the most famous English songs in the non-English-speaking world, its popularity is on par with that of Right Here Waiting. Stevie Nicks' performance sends this song to transcendence.

The only song by Fleetwood Mac I truly enjoy and can relate myself to. It really rocks and the chorus gives me goosebumps.
