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 87.2/100, a mean average of 87.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 87.4/100. The standard deviation for this track is 9.9.

Um resumo de quem é o Led Zeppelin! Fantástica!
This song represents everything great about Zeppelin 1, raw hard rock perfection.
Punk rock starter

Great rough hard-rock song. You just feel the power behind it.
Short, but I agree with JasonC. The speed and heaviness make the song a very cool on to listen to.

Zeppelin's fastest and heaviest song. Some of that early heavy metal ;)
No better way to start one the best bands in history.
