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)

As much as I love this song, yeah the vocal and instrumental melodies are lifted straight from 4th Time Around and Norwegian Wood. That kind of cheapens it in my mind, but this song has such amazing harmonies, vocal performances, and percussion that I can’t help but appreciate it.
Like the rest of Helplessness Blues, its stunning production uplifts Robin's beautiful melodies and the surprisingly powerful guitars into pure bliss.
As an individual, it's a lovely and addicting ballad.
This is obviously based on Bob Dylan's 4th Time Around.

This was my first favourite song on this album. It still might be, in spite of all the other greatness here.
One of the best songs of the 2010's. Melodically, this is absolutely stunning.
