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 90.7/100, a mean average of 90.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 90.8/100. The standard deviation for this track is 12.0.

Chorus just doesn't live up to the standard of the rest of the song, sounds a bit forced. Everything else is mostly great.

What's not to like. Nirvana classic - best on the album. Probably for those who prefer Nevermind to Bleach but it's so good who cares.

Personally I think it's crying out for a standout guitar solo mid section but Nirvana don't really do that do they.

Fantastic song, showcases everything great about Nirvana; The quiet loud quiet dynamic, a great riff, a kickass solo, and ridiculous lyrics with a fierce, distorted delivery.
