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 81.8/100, a mean average of 81.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 82.0/100. The standard deviation for this track is 12.3.

Nice, I like its mood.
One of Bruce's most beautiful songs. A great example of Bruce's gift for storytelling through song.

The calm before the storm that is Jungleland.

I do love this song, but it sticks out like a sore thumb on this album. I love the album the way it is and wouldn't change it, but that's the only thing wrong with this song.

In the end, all these decades later, this, to me, is the song that makes the album still tick. The hits and other standout tracks have been overplayed to death, but this buried gem remains a beautiful piece of obsidian. Great storytelling.
Like a good film noir film where you know things are not going to go as planned.
So I wasn't crazy about most of the album, but damn, this song was pretty cool.

Very jazzy song with nice saxophone.
Kinda lame compared to all the others.

Very beautiful and underrated song. The jazzy trumpet playing is key to this song's greatness.
