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 89.4/100, a mean average of 88.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 89.6/100. The standard deviation for this track is 10.3.

One of the greatest guitar riffs of all time. The breakdown that Jimmy Page does it orgasm translated to musical notes. (Edited)

Pretty cool riff, but dulled by overplay. It's a good thing this one has such a wicked solo.

A riff and matching groove to die for. I don’t love the solo section quite as much, but the groove oriented portions of this track are fucking stellar. (Edited)
I think this has been my favourite Zeppelin track on and off, and that riff will always sound great. (Edited)
This track and Whole Lotta Love are both Jimmy's best songs on the record.
