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 90.9/100, a mean average of 90.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 91.1/100. The standard deviation for this track is 10.6.

The more I listen to this song the more I consider it as my favorite LZ song. The first minute your being brought in a trance by Plants voice, and Page’s soft strumming guitar. And then BAM, Bonham absolutely kills it with the transition of the drums to ramp up the song, which then goes back to that soothing melody

Intros don't come much better than this one. One of those tracks every music lover must hear.
A legit contender for their best song.
Will always se my 3 year old daughter dance to this one.
Absolute musical perfection in every way here. Plant's vocals are at their most powerful, Bonham's drums are phenomenal and Page's guitar playing is beautiful.
Definitely my fav off the album. This song just blows my mind, that riff...
I CAN HEAR IT CALLING ME BACK HOOOOME!
Plants voice seeps through this track
"I can hear it calling me back hooahme!", holy shit. Amazing.

Nice emotional rock and roll song.
My favorite song of all time. I remember hearing this for the first time in my car as a 12 year old and crying. No words for how perfect Plant's emotions echo through Page's magnificent guitar. 10/10
