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 87.3/100, a mean average of 86.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 87.7/100. The standard deviation for this track is 14.4.

I love hearing the frustration out of Gordon Gano's voice.

The frustation that explodes out of this song, not in an extreme way is so good.
My grandpa used to play Chuck Berry's My Ding-a-ling and laugh and talk about how it was the dirtiest song he's ever heard. Then I played him this...:)
Interesting song

Probably the most sexually frustrated song you'll ever hear.
