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)

This track is rated in the top 3% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 81.8/100, a mean average of 81.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 82.0/100. The standard deviation for this track is 14.0.

The bassline draws from the Melvins's "It's Shoved."

Let's have a bit more of the loud quiet loud formula to please the hardcore fans. At this stage in their career the fan base had become so broad that you were never going to please all of the people all of the time.

I'm glad the hardcore like it and I don't dislike it but it's not going to score high for me.

From what I've read the next album may have gone in a different direction. Unfortunately tomorrow never knows.

One of the highlights of the album in my opinion. A bit over raw for a normal audience but anyway. Awesome track!

In my opinion, this is the darkest song on In Utero, even darker than Heart Shaped Box. The lyrical imagery and melody is intense, and even the "quiet" parts are incredibly chilling.

Now that's a real music lover, someone who has specific points in a song that he likes.
