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)

Very Springsteenish
The tone of this track is perfect after the powerful intro. It settles us into the album. Beautiful bass.
Absolutely love the lyrics here, some of my favorite from the band, and generally some of the most relatable and brutally honest lyrics, and some really calming and addicting guitar hooks, along with some times where the distortion on the guitar is a bit heavy, but the song stays calming, in a way that works. It doesn't need a huge build-up to be outstanding, that's the beauty of it.
ok song
Not the most captivating song, but enough turns and mini -buildups to make this song interesting. I love love love the introduction of the lonely guitar riff at the end of the song

What? Good song, yeah I Know
As a song on it's own, it's a 7.5.
As a part of the album, it's an 8.5.
So I gave it an 8.
