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 90.4/100, a mean average of 90.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 90.9/100. The standard deviation for this track is 10.3.

A brilliant song. I love the duelling guitars and the synth combination

...yeah, you really cannot argue against how good those riffs are. Jangle pop heaven.
great opening track and agree it is pop-Cure rather than dark gothic Cure
The best pop song of the cure
One of their best songs
Great opener, and very iconic for this period for the band.

Great song. Powerful melody & good lyrics. The furious guitar strumming is a plus. The keys sound bad, but that kind of goes along with this band.
