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 1% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 91.3/100, a mean average of 90.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 91.6/100. The standard deviation for this track is 11.6.

Slightly on the simple side, perhaps, when it comes to Dylan, but it's elegance and rather-to-the-point eloquence gives this a deserved place among his best songs. (Edited)

Just heard it for the first time, and the first phrase hit me so hard I had to look up the lyrics.
Gorgeous song.
