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 91.2/100, a mean average of 90.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 91.5/100. The standard deviation for this track is 10.6.

Probably his best song after The Beatles. Simply beautiful.

Masterpiece!
One of the greatest songs of all time, it's mellow, beautiful and progressive, and never loses momentum, there isn't one second of this song I don't love.
When i was a kid i always thought he said "Man on the run" mind you all i had was a small transistor radio

I recognize a certain sun king in the opening bass lines.
My fav post Beatles McCartney song.
