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 91.0/100, a mean average of 90.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 91.2/100. The standard deviation for this track is 11.3.

This song is such an incredible example of The Who’s approach to dynamics. Here they are convincing at each end of the spectrum.
Much loved track from a great album.
Maravillosa melodía que se endurece durante un minuto a partir de 2'19'', para volver a la melodía al final.

Amazing song! Awesome lyric. Really powerful deliver, especially for a slow song. Roger's best vocal before Quad.

Not just a great tune but so atmospheric with it, Daltrey's voice and the acoustic guitar collude to create something special.
Roger Daltrey's voice is so amazing
