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 86.3/100, a mean average of 85.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 86.4/100. The standard deviation for this track is 11.0.

I love this song, but the Spotify version is butchered. What happens to the organ halfway through this song? It just vanishes.
Oozes rhythm and oozes soul with a majestic organ bringing you both up and down throughout. Classic soulful rock. (Edited)
Good song and very typical of the mid/late sixties
One of their best songs
