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)

My favourite of Dylan's, and may just be the most gorgeous of openings to a song. (Edited)

Particularly screechy harmonica on this one.

Another great folk song but not one of my favorite songs on the album. Catchy chorus.
This is where the album started to get a little generic for me.
