Four Sticks ratings

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 3% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 82.2/100, a mean average of 81.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 82.3/100. The standard deviation for this track is 11.1.

The vocals grate but the guitar riff is good.

Amazing song, Robert Plant's vocals are downplayed, the instrumentation keeps my attention the whole time, especially the keyboards. How Misty Mountain Hop is rated higher than this is 100% beyond me.

Nice riff and interesting time signatures. But maybe not the best on the album ;)

A bit tedious to sit through. My least favorite song on the album. The riff is a good one, but the song is too repetitive.
