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 2% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 85.6/100, a mean average of 85.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 85.9/100. The standard deviation for this track is 11.4.

One of Frusciante's crowning achievements during his time in the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Not only is the acoustic riff and rhythm great, his solo is perfect. Kiedes says this song was written for Sinead O'Connor.

That beautifully foul-mouthed hook gets me every time, hundreds of times later. What kind of fucknut gives this song a 60 or less?
Brilliant song with frusciante at his best. Great soloing and layering. Probably my favorite song of all time. It never gets old.
