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 72.1/100, a mean average of 71.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.0/100. The standard deviation for this track is 15.6.

Straight up filler song. Very odd closer song for the album. Almost like they just tacked it onto the end because they didn't know what else to do with it and just wanted to do a little tribute to Roy Harper. Would have made more sense as a B-side.

It's reckless sounding, and far from Zep's best closer, but they still pull it off fairly well.
I don't mind this song, but it's simply not good. It's just a fun messy tribute to an artist they like; It doesn't belong on a Zeppelin studio album.
It was hard for me to follow along with, but it got better.

Ehh.. the jury is still out on how I feel about this song.
