Rating metrics: Help 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)

Media, record producers, parents and all sorts of other parasites are in the firing line. Lyrics in the Verses well written and delivered in an engaging but careless attitude. This reminds me of some Oasis tracks. Don't tell me Nirvana came first. Anyway good so far. However, chorus is dull and apathetic which makes the track seem overly jaded. Anywhere else on the album okay. But not a great choice for an opener - doesn't hold a candle to 'Blew or Smells'

the musical structure of the verse is one of the best Kurt has made while the choir's one of the most banal ever

Slower than most of the songs on In Utero, but it still shows Cobain's set of mind at the time.
