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 86.3/100, a mean average of 86.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 86.5/100. The standard deviation for this track is 11.1.

Another absolute classic from Fleetwood Mac.
Love the arrangement and production on this track. One of the rockier tracks on Rumours it’s got brilliant vocals from all three
I love the chaotic feel to the end of the song, which sort of sums up the band at the time.
A suitably great way to conclude a phenomenal album.
I love this song. And the whole album too

Good to hear a perfect ending for this album.

Probably my least favorite track on Rumors, it really is splitting hairs as it is still a good song

I don´t think is the greatest song to close an album, I´m sure it could be a pufff better

Great country-like sound. Reminds me of Bon Jovi's Dead or Alive.
