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 is a highly underrated song in their discography. One of my absolute favorites that I anticipate whenever I give this album a listen.
Maybe my favorite on the album. It combines their raw and sensitive sides so well.
Nice song
Jack White's vocals are amazing here!
Best White Stripes song in my opinion!
