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)

I wholehardedly disagree with buzzdainer on this track. The placement is perfect. This album begins with McVie's current pessimism concerning her relationship with an unnamed lover. Throughout the rest of the album, we find every member of the band dealing with something similar. Hearts have been broken. Friendships betrayed. The title track is basically a culmination of this: Lindsay Buckingham implying that he knows about Fleetwood cheating on his wife with Nicks. This song, Never Forget, is basically the band saying that despite all of the hardships and turmoil they displayed throughout the rest of the album, they are optimistic that they will sort things out and live happy lives. I think it is a beautiful message. Sometimes, contrast is good.

The odd placement of this sweet and romantic Christine McVie at the end of Tusk, after the incredibly powerful title track, somewhat diminishes its impact. But it's still a good song, even though a lot of people probably skipped it, since it's the last song on the album. It's probably fair to say that I don't fully trust the song's promise that "it'll be all right."
The ending, a great one.
