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)

If you're a drummer, like I am, you probably like this song.
Underrated song, killer riff and, while his vocals aren't pop-friendly, they're adrenaline pumping.

Maniacally good. Makes you want to blow your speakers to smithereens just to hear it a little louder.
This is a great example of how to use screaming vocals in a song, and not sound like a complete idiot. This song is amazing, heavy, and very influential.

Not only one of my favorite Nirvana songs but one of my most beloved noise rock tracks ever.
Brooding and disgusting, but somehow so appealing with amazing drumming.
