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)

One of their more mainstream hit songs, doesn't even come close to my top 10 U2 songs, but I can't really argue with that guitar riff - it's awesome.
I great opener with nod to rockier U2 of old from the 80's including the backing vocals

Por onde eu conheci o U2! Inesquecível!
Maybe the first rock n roll single by U2?

Completely incredible song, incredible riff and awesome rhythm, lyrics completely confused but real for some people, I can feel this song
