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 81.4/100, a mean average of 79.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 81.5/100. The standard deviation for this track is 17.5.

My second best track on this album.
I really like this song but it does have a feel about Crowded House in the verse. I quite like Crowded House, just didn't expect them to turn up here though. Defo not Crowded House in the chorus mind.
Another one of the non-single tracks that are my favorites from this album (Are We the Waiting, this and Whatsername). Just a beautiful track :)

a Pleasant break, after all the adrenaline that was St Jimmy

Could be the best song of all time. Perfect melody just like on every song that Billie Joe Armstrong ever wrote. Shakes me to this day.
Probably their most underrated song...it's fantastic, my favorite in the album

I don't know why... but I find the chorus to be extremely pleasant to listen to.
GREAT song!
