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 4% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 81.0/100, a mean average of 79.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 81.2/100. The standard deviation for this track is 15.9.

The best song of the album IMO, very unique and creative!

The music is alright, but the lyrics are absolutely filthy. Not in a playful way like most Prince tracks are, but in a super creepy way.

God you would have to have had some serious balls releasing a song like this. Mary Whitehouse probably had a heart attack when she first heard it. Sadly for her, it also happens to groove like no tomorrow and is catchy as hell.

So forward thinking, amazing production, but beyond that, Prince just does not get enough credit for his creativity

Underrated as hell compared to the lackluster tracks it's surrounded by.
Crud, this guy's good!
