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 is a track that I used to love but like a lot of Buckingham's songs on Tusk it hasn't aged well. The guitars are great and it has a distorted fuzzy attack that brings the relentless driving rhythm right out front. The lyrics however are terrible "it's not that funny is it? but you don't know what it is." well if you can't tell us Lindsey then how are we supposed to know ?

It sounds straight off of Revolver with a bit of Beefheart influence

Normally Lindsey Buckingham has a marvelous singing voice, but on this track he sounds like he's channeling something like the bastard offspring of Captain Beefheart and Animal (the Muppet). Mostly this is sort of a throwaway two-chord track with a cheap-sounding guitar solo. Definitely not the strongest track on Tusk--I'd say this is its second most annoying song (next to "Save Me a Place").
