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)

No no no no I love love this song. Filler?? No, no no no.
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. (Edited)

One of the weaker tracks on Exile.

I think it's safe to say this is a filler.
Honestly not my favourite track on the album but its is an album of awesome greatness so SBA is still good.
