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)

Starts off and ends as a pretty decent jam but the bulk of the song is a boring, repetitive drum solo in the middle. No argument that Bonham was a great drummer, maybe the best rock drummer of all time, but drum solos are hard to make entertaining. Especially recorded, live can be different sometimes. (Edited)

Not my cup of tea and the weakest track on the LP.

Great guitar I always sum the song with the band. It is a earworm

The drum part gets a bit boring after some time but Bonham is still really rocking on this song

Simple 12-bar I-IV-V instrumental with nothing special to recommend it other than it's a fun listen.
