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)

Feels like a more traditional blues number from the band rather than the psychedelia of most of the rest of the album. Love the inclusion of harmonica here. Not something that features that much, if at all, on the rest of the album.
Not outstanding but a very decent track. Not as exciting or ground-breaking as a lot of the album but it doesn’t detract from the overall feel of the album. (Edited)
The harmonica is the star here - but the song isn't quite landing with me and it's probably the vocal

A little too bluesy for me but still a good song. (Edited)

Harmonica is great and the guitar forms a nice basis for the song. (Edited)

SUPER bluesy! Love it! The harmonica is key.
