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 2% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 85.8/100, a mean average of 86.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 88.0/100. The standard deviation for this track is 13.0.

I love the mini acoustic sets they would do in the middle of their shows. This and That's the Way are the best tracks when you listen to the album in full.

The instrumental passage gets a little boring, but otherwise a nice job.

It must have been quite the experience to see Zeppelin play this live! What an excellent live version.
