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 87.1/100, a mean average of 86.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 87.3/100. The standard deviation for this track is 12.2.

The melody is very uplifting
If the guitar was properly tuned, maybe I could enjoy this song...

Particularly screechy harmonica on this one.
Really like this track, awesome instrumentation :)
My favourite of Dylan's, and may just be the most gorgeous of openings to a song.

I´m in love this song, it´s not my favorite from Dylan but it´s such an incredible song
Good song
This is where the album started to get a little generic for me.

Another great folk song but not one of my favorite songs on the album. Catchy chorus.
