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 91.6/100, a mean average of 90.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 91.9/100. The standard deviation for this track is 11.6.

Very obviously one of the great Bob Dylan songs with some particularly stunning lyrics. However, I think what really sets this one apart from so many other great Dylan tracks is the nearly ASMR sonics of Bruce Langhorne‘s lead guitar layering. Such a dreamy and beautiful song.
What a fantastic lyric and delivery from Bob - simple acoustic with light harmonic electric

Just another great Dylan song. One of his more melodic tunes.
