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)

One of The Who's best songs! Roger Daltrey really pushes his voice here! Pete Townshend's vocals make a really nice contrast. Beautifully written song. The synthesizer gives it a really nice touch. (Edited)
Another perfect Who song. Just like Song is Over, this track has great vocal contrast between Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey. Powerful music, I've always liked contrasting music, which will never be as well done as on this album. (Edited)

This is one of those songs from the Who that show that their songs can go to any direction at any moment.

Quintessential Who here, with all the individual elements lifting the song far beyond expectations.
Gran canción que, en mi opinión, anticipa el sonido de Quadrophenia.
