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 2% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 84.4/100, a mean average of 84.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 85.3/100. The standard deviation for this track is 12.3.

Loved this song.
McGuinn vocal, no Parsons yokel vocal.

A song that I remember fondly from playing together with friends first when I was living in Reno, and later when I was living in Georgia. I'm still not sure what it means, precisely, to "ride me high," but I try not to think too hard about that.
