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 84.5/100, a mean average of 83.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 84.6/100. The standard deviation for this track is 11.5.

Great blues track.

Three words, John Paul Jones!

More than a little overwrought, but still a great song.
One of Zeppelin's first blues ripoffs (Killing Floor, Howlin Wolf), a song that cements them as one of the greatest cover bands of all time
Call me insane but I prefer this song to their two previous from this album.

The group at their gut-wrenching best. Hard to get more intense than this.
John Paul Jones is just fantastic on this song.
Weird lyrics, but very catchy. I don't want to know what the lemon and the juice are.

Ahh how much I love the blues! Actually this one, particularly in the solo, has a very early Rock N' Roll sound, almost like Chuck Berry.
