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)

Love the whole progression of it from the starting few chords to the gospel end, my love for this song is also anchored by the fact that it's a typical British anthem - it is pretty much played everywhere you go with an atmospheric feeling about it, loudly. I love it but I prefer the three trippier songs that everyone seems to like ("Come Together", "Loaded", "Higher Than The Sun").

Easily the best song on the album.
Cant get enough of this song
An interesting blend of gospel and rock!
