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)

I listened to this album a long time without liking or noticing this song. It is a pretty unaccessible album and this song is especially long and slow but its surprising thatI could skip over a song this good for so long. Lanois creates a great laid back hook and emotion cuts straight to the bone. Great imagery about being turned away by love, and poignant and insightful oneliners make this one of Dylan's most emotive songs.
