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)

A perfect song. Fuck. This song is gold. I've always gone back and forward between Undone (The Sweater Song) and this track for my favourite song off of this album. Listening to it now makes me want to pick this song. It's simply beautiful. It's chilling, like am 8 minute Weezer symphony. I feel the bass line in my heart and the lyrics make me fall apart. It has highs, lows, quiet whispers, loud peaks, backing vocals, aggressive guitars, and possibly the greatest lyrics Cuomo ever wrote. You can take lines from any part of this song and find perfection. "You can't resist her / She's in your bones / She is your marrow / And your ride home. Even once the lyrics end and the guitars come in it's like we get everything Weezer could ever offer. It's aggressive, and somber. It builds up for several minutes making you feel like they're playing only for you. I love this song. It's unique i feel like drastically under appreciated. Say It Ain't So may be perfect as well, but for me Only In Dreams takes everything you could ever want and gives it to you magically.
This should be a lot higher on the list. At least as high as Say it aint so.
89? What's wrong with you guys, this song deserves to be as high as say it ain't so even better. This is the stairway to heaven of weezer. Amazing finish for an amazing album, especially the guitar solo is freaking awesome.
For me, the best track from Weezer, all albums included. period.

Not a second wasted here, all 7;59 seconds of it, baseline, acoustic, electric, it's all perfectly nostalgic, middle school dances am I right
