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 89.5/100, a mean average of 89.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 89.8/100. The standard deviation for this track is 10.0.

Good but not brilliant.
Young attempts to compete with "Down by the River" and "Cowgirl in the Sand"--with a piano riff.
True but he had made better songs of this style in Everybody knows... and made better in On the Beach, still, everything in this album seems overrated compared to the others... each to their own ;)
One of the highlights of the album
Incredible song!
