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)

For me, I Looked Away is reminiscent of I’d Have You Anytime from All Things Must Pass as an opener. Both tracks are enjoyable yet understated gems compared to some of the more widely noted bombast that’s to come later in their respective records. (Edited)

A great way to start the best album to come out the 70s. Clapton's vocals are usually overshadowed by his guitar playing but they come through beautifully here. (Edited)

A Really good way to start an album (Edited)
And of course, there's the good guitar at the end. Good start for the album. It'll take me a while to actually move to it, though.
Fantastic album opener. (Edited)
