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 9% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 79.0/100, a mean average of 80.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 80.6/100. The standard deviation for this track is 7.0.

I'll admit I had to do some research to figure out what on Earth Ryan Adams is referring to in the intro to this song, in which he declares, "When I say L-U-V, you better believe me L-U-V. Gimme a beer!" Whaa? Turns out it's a reference to the Shangri-La's "Give Him a Great Big Kiss," and in particular Adams is referencing Johnny Thunders' cover of that song from the early seventies. Pretty obscure, but that tells you a bit about Ryan Adams: he's definitely a student of rock and roll history, and an appreciator of lore and legends from bands of yore. As for this song: it rocks, but it's not one of the most memorable tracks on the album.

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
