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 85.4/100, a mean average of 85.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 85.7/100. The standard deviation for this track is 10.6.

This song is very catchy. I couldn't stop playing/singing it after I first heard it. It definitely makes a good opening track (Though I think the song Waiting For The Sun would've made an even better one.) The main issue I have with the song is the same one I have with the rest of Waiting For The Sun: It's to poppy. It doesn't have the same rough rawness that the earlier songs had. I still really enjoy the song though. (Edited)
This song was supposedly based on the Kinks All day and all of the night. Could be. The lyrics tells of the moment when Morrison & Manzarek sat down on Venich Beach and saw a beautiful black girl walk by. (Edited)

Extremely enjoyable chorus. Overall just a cool song. (Edited)
Stolen from the Kinks or was it Cream's Sunshine of your Love (according to Krieger). Yeah the fuzz is great and it is really catchy but so were most of the Kinks songs.
Love the fuzz guitar sound and the half tone up transposition. Very catchy and uplifting song.
