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)

It plods along but I like the strings when they kick in.

I’m surprised this song, of all the tracks on this album, has zero comments.
It’s a good bluesy jam with a masterfully punctuated groove in the chorus. However, I think John’s tone lyrically is cynical past the point of totally getting behind. By verse 2, all of the heavy-handed Paul references sound like a guy who’s jealous rather than a man who is righteously bitter.
