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 5% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 80.9/100, a mean average of 80.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 82.3/100. The standard deviation for this track is 13.4.

This song is probably the hardest rocker on the album, but what in the hell is that solo at about 4:10? It sounds like someone who's been playing the guitar for a month. Whoever it is obviously more skilled than this song showcases, as Mike McCready is actually quite the excellent player, Stone Gossard is really good as well. Sure, Neil Young is sort of known for his sloppy playing, but it's never been incompetent. Just something that irked me. That's all.
