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)

Regardless of messaging/irony/whatever, the middle section w/Chuck D is a bit of a drag. Killer Riff Though.
Kim's voice is so koooooool.
The kind of song you wish you were cool enough to write.
One of Sonic Youth's signature songs and one of their biggest hits. I remember the first time I heard this song I hated it due to the middle section w/ Chuck D., but over time I grew to love it.
This is such a great song. It's one of their most accessible songs, but it's still one of their best.
I don't wanna... I don't think so!

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
