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)

This is one of the best songs on the record. Takes a while to grow on you but once it clicks, you'll be glad it did. Cornell's vocals shine as always, and as with many other songs on this album, his use of effects on his voice are done in a manner that works well within the context of the song.
The other part of the two-headed monster in Soundgarden is Matt Cameron's drumming, and he doesn't disappoint here, helping drive the song from its reserved opening to a tumultuous conclusion. He anchors some very underrated riffs/grooves typical of Cornell's unusual writing style when compared to other bands in the Seattle scene.
Lyrics are interesting and up for interpretation as many of Cornell's tend to be.

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 :(
