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 4% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 81.7/100, a mean average of 81.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 81.8/100. The standard deviation for this track is 9.9.

I'm biased against instrumentals. This one isn't horrible but nothing exciting.

Incredible piece of Guitar-Driven Work.
An essential transition piece. I'll take a live version any day though, Jimmy's medleys with White Summer are extremely under-appreciated.

Might be slightly plagiarized from Bert Jansch...but fantastic nonetheless.
Amazing instrumental

Cool mix of different mixes witht he acoustic guitar playing and the percussions.
Is it a mix of genres? Either way, it's an OK song.

Took me many many lessons to appreciate this song, but now I wouldn't dream of skipping it when listening to this album.
