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)

I identify with the "Nothing seems to kill me no matter how hard I try" line perfectly.

Another one of my favorite Soundgarden songs, and maybe my favorite from this album.
The unique effect that drowns the lead vocal through the verses gives way to one of Chris Cornell’s biggest and boldest choruses. A massive and remarkable lead vocal.
I used to hate this track, but it really grew on me, and it's now my favourite Soundgarden song.
