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)

A more laid back, contemporary feel this fantastic track in comparison to some of SY's other more well known stuff, and boy do they pull it off.
Definitely one of the best off this record. Thurston's vocals are awesome, the riffs are as good as they've ever been, and Steve Shelley kills the drums. Also probably one of their best jam sections.

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
