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 87.0/100, a mean average of 87.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 87.3/100. The standard deviation for this track is 9.7.

It took me a while to fully appreciate this song, one of Zeppelin's best.
one of Physical Graffiti's best songs, very representative of the album to me, along with In My Time of Dying and Ten Years Gone.

Another amazing moment for John Bonham. A great Jimmy Page song too.
Underrated
If this song is underrated, I'm with Jason. It's probably underrated because it doesn't sound like a Zeppelin song. But it's a very cool song. I want to buy Physical Graffiti just for this song.

A tragically underrated Zeppelin song. How this song doesn't get more attention is beyond me. The guitar riffs are some of Jimmy's best and the lyrics are really great. Robert Plant gives those lyrics life with his incomparable voice.
