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 88.5/100, a mean average of 88.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 89.0/100. The standard deviation for this track is 11.1.

This song makes me angry cause the opening riff and the verses are sick and then there's the part where he sings by himself and then everything kicks in. That part would be so much cooler if it kicked in and it was heavy, but it kicks in and it's this soft rock song. Everything about the song is awesome except the chorus. I love that riff at the end though.

The way that chorus kicks in fails to get old.
Sounds like a late period Beatles song.
Love the guitar work from Graham
Great song!
