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 4% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 81.1/100, a mean average of 80.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 81.2/100. The standard deviation for this track is 11.9.

Honestly not my favourite track on the album but its is an album of awesome greatness so SBA is still good.
Love this song!
A nice bit of protest music here. Not quite sure why people consider this a weak or weaker track. To me, it's another brilliant piece of acoustic genius. An excellent track.

No no no no I love love this song. Filler?? No, no no no.
It's getting repetitive.

I think it's safe to say this is a filler.

One of the weaker tracks on Exile.
