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)

Given my previous comment, I’ve always thought highly of this song. But returning to Are You Experienced left me dumbfounded in how pathetically I was sleeping on this song. Couldn’t remember it before the track arrived but I’m never going to forget it after this listen.
Spectacular drumming, guitar emotives, and of course the wacked-out sonics. Incredibly well done.
This is one of Hendrix’s many great achievements. (Edited)

An early space rock masterpiece. (Edited)
0:42 to 1:20 is my favorite guitar riff I've heard to date (Edited)
