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 9% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 79.1/100, a mean average of 79.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.5/100. The standard deviation for this track is 9.2.

Richie Furay wrote this song. He was basically the George Harrison of Buffalo Springfield. Great musician and song writer, overshadowed by the towering presence of Stills and Young.
This track highlights his love of country music. I’d be amazed if Gram Parsons hadn’t listened to this track a lot especially with the use of a dobro. Furay went on to found the country-rock band Poco. If you don’t know Poco and you like the Eagles, check them out. Great country-rock without the sell out to corporate America.
