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 92.3/100, a mean average of 91.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 92.7/100. The standard deviation for this track is 10.6.

Oh why isn't this longer, superb guitar.
I Think this is one of few songs who deserves 100/100. Tbe guitarwork is executed to perfection, the chord progression is wonderfull and the bass/Drum fills just add to the song. One of the best songs ever made.

Only complaint regarding this tune is its brevity. JH could have really stretched this one out. Just like JH improved upon Dylan's "All Along The Watchtower", Clapton improved upon "Little Wing" on his "Layla" sessions.
This song has been one of my favorites by Jimi for a long time, I had never heard clean guitars sound so precise and beautiful before I listened to this, it's truly a work of art.

Some of the most beautiful guitar work ever recorded.
If this song were a minute longer and he played those same notes and said fly on little wing once more this would be my favorite song ever.
