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 2% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 85.1/100, a mean average of 84.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 85.3/100. The standard deviation for this track is 11.7.

My favourite on the LP and to be honest in my top 5 LZ tracks. I love its atmosphere, everything about it really.

A nice recovery after Tangerine. Still ballady, but Plant's voice is back in form and carries the tune nicely.
2nd best of LZ III imo, just barely behind Since I've Been Loving You. This song was Robert Plant''s breakthrough as a song writer, the lyrics are are just fantastic. This song is kinda like Going to California's prelude.
It was well done, but I didn't feel much with this song.

Such a beautiful song. Folk rock at it's best.
