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 86.3/100, a mean average of 86.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 86.6/100. The standard deviation for this track is 12.3.

Love the song but just hearing I'm A Man by the Yardbirds and he has borrowed heavily from it. Much more pronounced than the Roadhouse Blues which has a slight nod to it. Bowie did say he uses and repackages old ideas and this is a clear re-use of previous riffs
The beginning of how it starts up and down and up Sounds similar to Roadhouse blues the song I listen to first by the Doors so I dislike this song
Bowie didn't dabble very much in blues, but when he did - he created one of his signature songs. It's simple, heavy, dirty, rock 'n' roll at it's finest.
My favorite on album
Slick lyrics, a killer riff and fanatical delivery; a proper Bowie classic and an absolute show stopper.
Mi canción favorita del álbum
It's a bit repetitive. It's also a great damn song. Terrific guitar work.
