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 88.8/100, a mean average of 87.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 89.0/100. The standard deviation for this track is 11.8.

Really awesome song. Really bouncy and fun song.

Sounds a lot like it's something The Velvet Underground could have written.
Truly a great track :)

Such a fantastic solo! One of the best of the "modern age" of music ;)
Feels a bit more bouncy. Julian has amazing inflections to make those riffs even more catchy.

What an incredible drums, and the guitar with it sounds incredible, and the voice in this song is incredible, this song makes me feel like i´m not in the modern age

The "wooh" he makes at the end of the song always reminds me of "Oh! Darling".
