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 90.1/100, a mean average of 89.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 90.5/100. The standard deviation for this track is 14.1.

One of the greatest Strokes songs. That drumbeat is amazing ?

This comment is beneath your viewing threshold.

This song is already a classic
Cool integration of their 2000s sound with their 2010s sound

My favourite song in a record filled up with beautiful songs... it's refreshing but it's classic Strokes at the same times, love it, i think this is one of their greatest songs, period.
Straight outta The Cure - A Forest
Beautiful way to kick off this beautiful album.

One of my all-time favorite Strokes songs
