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 87.5/100, a mean average of 86.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 88.0/100. The standard deviation for this track is 13.2.

Possibly VH's best song
Sammy Hegar is a GOD. Period.
Very powerful riff.

All around great Van Halen track. Very well put together hard-pop-rock.
One of their best songs
Who would've thought that Van Halen - the same California bar band that went on to hire Sammy Hagar to screech over a synth-pop power ballad called "Why Can't This Be Love?" in '86 - would (or could) write one of the most charged and - at the same time - listenable punk songs ever waxed..? No easy feat.
Naturally, this occurred in '78, several years before they started thinking' 'bout, never mind talkin' 'bout 'love.

Okay. That riff got me. And it's one of Roth's least annoying vocals.

Another of my favorite Van Halen songs. The riff is one of Eddie's best and I love that it has side of wide range of high and low notes and everything in the middle.
