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 89.7/100, a mean average of 89.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 90.1/100. The standard deviation for this track is 10.9.

Personally I don't mind the length at all, amazing song.
This would be the best song on the album if not for the pointless three minutes of noise that it ends with.
What an amazing opener.
Awesome song ! Always listen to it ! however about 2-3 minutes too long

Sting and bob dylan for me

Rousing start in the vain of Springsteen meets Rod Staert/Bryan Adams, (but in a good way)

One of the lines in the song is this:
"Lying in a ditch, pissing in the wind"
For an album about so much suffering, it definitely needed a line like that.

Great song.. just takes a little too long to end.
