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 8% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 79.0/100, a mean average of 78.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.1/100. The standard deviation for this track is 10.9.

I really like the almost “lazy” psychedelic / pop intro prior to the vocals coming on.
A more experimental track this and sometimes referred to as a filler, which I would not agree with. This track is moving the band beyond their earlier heavy blues influences. It’s definitely a flawed track but they are trying something new and different.
Does it come off? Not particularly.
Is it worth a listen? Most definitely. It still has the trademark Cream superior musicianship (Edited)
I like this song and joint harmony vocals again excel - however it does sound a little dated and of it's time
The guitar work reminds me of what Television is going to do 10 years later with Marquee Moon.

This song starts of great and keeps on being that thru the whole song. I of course like the vocal combo of Clapton and Bruce but they do a really good job with their individual instruments as well. (Edited)
One of my favorites off of Disraeli Gears. I love how everything builds up. (Edited)

The combination of vocals of Eric Clapton and Jack Bruce are the main thing for me in this song. The sonic guitar sound adds a lot too the ambience of the song. (Edited)

The guitar playing is so beautiful I don't even have words to describe it. More use of the Bruce/Clapton vocal combo. (Edited)
